These teams are not similar...
For the record, I have not decided if I will bet this game or not. If so, it will be a small to normal size bet on Auburn.
No way I'd lay money on MSU.
The team MSU beat last week (Jackson State) would not be able to beat half of the junior college teams in Mississippi this year. I'm dead serious and do not mean that with any sarcasm.
MSU was up 14-0 at halftime. Both TDs came as a result of the snapper rolling the ball back to the punter and MSU recovering around the 20 or 30 yard line.
Also, for the record, I hate Auburn. But, Auburn had 1 really bad year that was basically the result of an offensive experiment gone bad (Tony Franklin). The difference in talent assembled at Auburn by Tuberville and the talent assembled by Croom at MSU is vastly different. These teams are not remotely similar.
Not trying to flame. Just wanted to share my input on this SEC game. Although, typing that might influence me to go ahead and play Auburn (but not a play as of yet).
