That suits me fine. The more overconfident the universe is about uga winning the better I like our changes.

 

[Cheesehead Jacket]

Good, I hope it stays like that. We need more motivation .....LOL

 

[ybeenormal]

Wow. Figured 6.5 plus home field advantage = 9.5 for my guess..... no respect. THWG

 

[Techster]

All I'm going to say about that line is...LOL

I'm not sure if I should be pissed off right now? Or just laugh?

Yeah this spread is a bit higher than what I expected to see, I thought it would be around 10 points. I would take us to cover but have a rule against betting on my teams.

That line will definitely draw some action. Look for it to drop by game day.

Let's see what happens when the bets come in. If the 14.5 line is fat, it will move quickly to a smaller number. My guess is that it will settle in around 13-14. That is a rational betting line. I would not take us with nine points. Well, maybe for a six-pack, but not for real money.

Per Rivals:
the last 5 recruiting classes for G T rated 47, 85, 57, 41, 43 for an average of 55.
the last 5 recruiting classes for UGa rated 7, 12, 12, 5, 15 for an average of 10.

UGa should win this on talent alone. But, then, how do you explain last year's overtime game?
Coaching? I have felt that way for the last 7 years.

If I was a betting man, I'd take Tech and 14.5 and spend it all before the game even kicks off.

This - PJ can outcoach these guys, but jimmies & joes matter.

Yes, and yes. But I think those ratings are way out of wack. There's no way the talent is that disproportionate.

 

[jchens_GT]

Just more fuel for the fire. Keep the disrespect coming.

 

[TechnicalPossum]

What was O/U for combined score?

Beating on the same drum.
Last year we lost a 20pt lead and lost in double overtime. This time we need to win.

In 2007, we discovered the sec refs were worth 17 points. 14.5 doesn't look outrageous. I hope the ACC refs calling the other acc/sec games are aware of what will be transpiring.

I might be wrong but I think they use the road team's refs, so they should be acc. I think the replay booth guy will be sec.

 

[TheGridironGeek]

If the score was 21-7 GT after 1 quarter, most impartial observers would give Tech the edge. That tells me that the line is over-the-top SEC mania.

Holy crap I'm about to... Not jinx us
