The smart play if you had this bet:

The LVH had the longest odds for the Tigers, but other sports books took what looked to be sure money on Auburn, too. One Auburn bettor posted a picture of his betting slip from the Paris hotel-casino on Twitter showing a wager of $100 on the Tigers at 500-1 odds. Payout 50K

Is to put $25,000 on FSU then no matter what you make 25K.

You cant do that. Line is -350. So putting up 25k on the money line will not give you 25k if FSU wins, but you still will make money.

RJ In Vegas (big time sports gambler) actually found a guy that was able to bet $25k at -270 on FSU at the Las Vegas Hilton. Ticket was printed December 9th.

I and the rest of the nation (except apparently for Auburn fans) saw it.

As to why they played so flat, it defies reason - but its clear as day to everyone (again, save for Auburn fans) that they did. And you barners should be happy they did.

You know good and well that were the two teams to face each other next week, Auburn would be heavy underdogs.

and they'd win again.

nick saban can't stop auburn's offense.

like i said... people want to remember alabama as this team of invincibility... but the fact is they have been pretty average in several games this year. they were average against auburn and it cost them.

So Saban can't stop auburn's offense

But Auburn could stop Alabama's offense?

Stopped them enough. Held them to 7 points over the last 33 minutes of the game. If I were an Alabama fan, I'd say those 7 points came on a fluke play. In reality, Auburn's defensive backs just didn't make the play.

Good catch. Even a loss to Bama, and they've had wound up in the Top Ten.

maybe.

they wouldn't have had the chance to beat missouri though. really depends on the competitiveness of the loss to alabama. if they lose in overtime, yeah probably. if they are blown out, maybe not.

Florida St offense is loaded! And those athletes from FL on defense can play too. Went into Clemson and rolled them.

SEC streak is coming to an end. You can't win the BCS on rushing attack alone. Coach Fisher will be ready for the triple option.

I think it will be close with FSU winning by 3-10 points.

I think this game will be closer than expected but FSU still wins. You have to give Auburn some credit for getting through the season with only 1 loss. You have to be a pretty good team to accomplish that. I know ....... The UGA win was a fluke ...... The Bama game was luck too. Blah, blah, blah ..... They still did what it took to win the game. With that said, I still think FSU is a juggernaut and AU isn't going to stop them. AU can only hope to keep up. I think the difference in this game will be FSU's D. FSU's O is probably going to smoke AU, but can AU's O hang enough pts to keep it close until the end of the game, similar to the Bama and UGA games?


45-34 FSU

Florida State played who? Auburn is going to run it down their throats. In a word, they will "r*pe" them. Watch and see. And they'll get away with it.

Mostly freshman? No you guys had 4 freshman playing. Those freshman also played the majority of the year. Also remember it is a rivalry game so most statistics go out the window. Look at what the 1st quarter was like last night. FSU had 80 yards in the 1st quarter with no points. You are looking into things way too much. Auburn is good on offense but horrible on defense.

Lastly. It is not how you start the game, but how you FINISH it and FSU most definitely finished the game strong against UF like every other team. Quarters 2,3, and 4 UF was outmatched.

Not exactly a good point to make when arguing against Auburn.
Just saying...

Actually it is a good one to make since UF's defense is better than Auburns. Even with all of the injuries.

Auburn will get yards rushing no doubt about that. I think the key thing people are forgetting when they bring up BC and Miami is that NEITHER team scored a rushing touch down. I am fine with giving up yards between 20s. I like it much better that the FSU 1st string defense builds a wall inside the 20.

Nice little stat to go along with this. The 1st string defense has not given up a single rushing touchdown. The 5 TDs given up were all in the 2nd half against the 2ndand 3rd string defense. 2 to NC State, 1 to Clemson, 1 to UF, and 1 to Bethune Cookman in the 2nd half. I think he 1st string defense is pretty good at stuffing the run inside the 20 which is where I would like to see them. We have the speed to catch and keep Mason and Marshall. It will come down to gap control and being 100% disciplined. Especially our Freshman Safety.


Edit: Need to add that we will have to move Christian Jones back to LB and not leave him at DE for the DL to be more successful against the OOL of Auburn. Another big body and use Jones' athleticism and tackling ability in space and in the gaps.
