    You might not be wrong lol. I remember seeing them put out a preliminary spread for the Florida game that was in the single digits, which I did not see anywhere once all the main sources put out their spreads.

    That action network article says they believe the point spread might be as low as a pick em game.

    I don't believe that.

    I see it ending up between 6.5 and 7.5.

    I agree. I'm not worried about the play calling though like some are. I'm pretty sure they were being a little conservative because of the conditions. Even with the so-called "mingerball" we still produced over 500 yards of well-balanced offense on a wet field. The lack of scoring from the red zone hurt us. Had those opportunities not been missed, you're talking about a score in the high 30's or even in the 40's to Auburn's 20 points. It was just a shitty, sloppy day game.

    Burrow threw 27 passes in the first half and only 15 in the second, 8 or 10 more might have given us a higher point total.

    Exactly... Nothing wrong with the plays called, but when they were called... We dominated... Had over 500yds of total o vs 287 for them... If they are known for their dline, idk why we chose to run right into the teeth of their d instead of doing what they proved they couldn't do which was stop us from throwing...
