WOO PIG SOOIE

[willyfish]

Sorry Razorback fans that pig is going to be roasted in Athens. I personally think this Georgia team will win it all this year. They are loaded and only going to get better as the season plays out.

I'm a Mizzou fan, but I don't think this will be even close to any kind of a roast. I think GaGa wins but they will know they had to beat a very good team to do it.  I'm also guessing they will have their lowest point total of the year. 

You have a Barry Odom defence and an Kendal Briles offense and the most returning 4th. and 5th.  year players in the country. 

Pigs are not rolling over for any body.  18 point spread in GaGa's favor and I think the Back's cover.

I admit to being a bandwagon rider when it comes to the Hawgs, nice to see them winning some meaningful games again, hope they play well in Athens this Saturday.

As an Arkansas fan, I'm pretty happy with how things are going. Honestly I expected nothing more than improvement over last year and we're 2 solid wins ahead of that at this point. 

That being said.....we're 1 month from Georgia slipping by a Clemson team that, at the time, we thought would be a playoff team. Hindsight being 20/20 that win looks a whole lot less impressive than it did but still that 1st game can be a trap when its week 1. The wins of UAB and Vandy are what they are...much like Arkansas win over Georgia Southern. 

I think Texas(Big 12) is vastly over rated but A&M isn't a joke maybe over ranked but I think their certainly top 25 material. 

I'm personally giving Georgia the edge based on it being in Athens and Arkansas coming off the high of running the Texas tables but I think Vegas is high on the 18pt. favorite. Would not surprise me to be very close ball game into the 4th quarter when the depth of Georgia finally wears down Arkansas. 

FWIW I'm already sick of Arkansas fans on facebook. I'm already seeing things like #1 in the country based on strength of schedule of games played and all that malarky. Right now Arkansas looks vastly improved but until they knock of Gerogia or Alabama their still at best a mid-tier SEC team that's better than most other power 5 conferences teams. 

We're going to know a whole lot more after Saturday assuming major injuries don't reek havoc.

Without getting into half points this spread should probably be closer to Bama Ole Miss which is 14 or 15. Georgia o-line is a work in progress and their 2 best pass catchers haven't played yet. When it comes together watch out because the defense is the real deal. Number 99 might be the best player in the country not named Aaron Donald.

I'm sorry, but Georgia will not win the national championship because Kirby Smart couldn't beat Saban in a putt-putt contest. They don't play each other in the regular season, but assuming they meet in the SEC Championship game, that is more than likely your national title game. And my money is on Alabama. 

As for the Hawgs vs. the Dawgs, I'm hoping we can get to the 4th quarter with a chance. Then let the chips fall where they may. As Bill said, with Barry Odom calling the defense, Little Briles handling the offense, and Pittman orchestrating it all ... we won't lose for lack of coaching. And that defense is tough. Maybe the best linebacking corps in college football, and Catalon just might be the best DB in the country.

I know you don't like giving your money to Johnny so I would be willing to bet a $250 gift card to tackle warehouse on the SEC championship game. No points we can call it a pickem unless their are a lot of injuries which we could revisit later.

Pretty sure Johnny owns TW now.

Alabama is not Alabama this year but like James I'm pretty sure Kirby will face plant against Nick. 

There is not a team in the country that has came together yet and everyone has a player or two out. 

If tomorrows game was at Razorback Stadium I think it would be under a 10 point line. Line moved up yesterday from -18 to -18.5. Over under at 46. I think that's really close. 

I'm thinking 28 to 18 dawgs for some reason.   Georgia gets ahead early by 2 scores it will be worse cause Smart won't take his foot off the gas. He might because of Pittman but who knows. 

If I'm the Hogs under no circumstances do I win the toss and defer.  I know you want your D out there if your the hogs, but if GaGa  scores to start the game at home and then you make a mistake on your first possession the game is totally over. 

Arkansas is still a completely unknown but are playing at an extremely high level.

I'll have to politely decline. If those two reach the national championship game, let's revisit and perhaps come to a lesser but still appreciable amount.

What I should have said in my earlier post is this ... if things continue as they are now, I think we'll see the two best teams in the country playing in the SEC Championship, and I think they'll be Jawja and Alabama. Only thing is, the game is meaningless other than perhaps seedings for the four-team playoffs. I don't look for this unification game to continue forever because other than being a moneymaker for the league, it means nothing to the teams because more times than not, both are already in the playoffs. And there's a chance of getting someone hurt before the playoffs begin. I think if I was Saban and Smart, I'd start my third-stringers on both sides of the ball and let them play the entire game just to make the statement that the game is meaningless.
