MEANINGLESS!!!!!!
Its not set as to who the bookies think will win, its set to get an equal number of bettors on each side so that the bookies can't lose. If there are an equal number of bettors on each side the bookies still make out with the 10% vig.

them spot on. But when there are 120 teams playing every week, statistically speaking theyre bound to get some of them very right. But just look at Clemson/Auburn game. Clemson was 3 point favorite and they won by 14. Not very accurate. They had USuC as 18 point favorites, and they only won by 3. Again very inaccurate. I'm sure a person could scour the scores from all 60 games and find a few where they were within an acceptable margin of error (maybe 10-15%).
I also think its a psychological thing where people tend to remember the ones where vegas gets it right on because it does seem to be amazing that someone could handicap a game 100% correctly.
But just to prove that a point spread is meaningless is the fact that it moves throughout the week based on where people are betting. Too many on one side, they swing it the other way to bring in new bettors on that side to even it out. That doesnt mean that one team is somehow improving throughout the week.

The 1st 2 games haven't helped my confidence much either. I don't know what to expect, but I haven't liked our OL nor have I been impressed with our Defense. I hope we have a lot more than I've seen, and I hope it surfaces really soon.

If you base this on facts:
Our D while not good is better than their D statistically - Advantage Us
Their O and our O so far is a push!!
Their SP Teams and Our Special Teams slight nod to The Barn
based on this we would get the nod. She thinks too much with her head...
Oh wait there's the problem, nothing is in there.

auburn. Seems like she made a good pick in auburn by one point. Stop hating on her just because she didnt pick Clemson. You people on here take it personally everytime someone at ESPN picks against Clemson. The team has played like dog crap so far.
Defenses- both suck Offense- both are equal Special Teams - slight edge to Auburn
Thus the one point auburn win (by Heather's prediction). My own prediction is Auburn easy over Clemson. They will come in and manhandle Clemson on both lines.

I think the fact that Auburn beat a ranked Miss. State team improved many peoples opinion of them and us seeming to struggle at times against Troy and Wofford have diminished our reputation.
It will be a big game for both programs.

told someone without going to Journalism school they'd never succeed in the the business (when they asked what they could do to get a job like hers).
I just always think about her saying that, basically every time she writes something.

Statistic!!!!!!

She is a diversity statistic. Only reason she has a job. HD is clueless. She could not pick 20% against the spread. I stopped visiting ESPN.com because her writing is worse than asking a 5 year old their opinions on football.

which is just one more reason her opinion is automatically garbage and she's nothing more than a mouthpiece for other more knowledgable sports writers.

All summer she said that Clemson would win this game on her blog. ALL Summer.
This should tell you something about her, but more importantly about ESecPN. They have two dudes working the SEC Blog. Then they find this girl hanging out at IHOP and offer her the job of following the ACC.
Well played, ESecPN, well played.
What a joke!
