The Egg Bowl line keeps dropping

Our coach has a more impressive winning percentage that Lane. How can you bet against a winner ??
This is very strange. I think that line should be at least double what it is. I'm thinking something like a 42-17 beatdown.
bettors might be seeing the lane train as having one foot out the door
Ole Miss plays some weird games. I think some see more potential for that in a rivalry spot, especially in Starkville.
Could see State defense playing well. Could also see them playing awful, of course. Wouldn't touch this game.
But then we'd have to suffer through another game with this team, a meaningless crappy lower tier bowl somewhere..............But I guess beating them would make it tolerable.
OM -10 and State +14 is a very nice middle. Much nicer than the books want to offer when they open betting.
Dart darted and Kiffin kiffy popped out of there, its business.
A&M made Kiffin an offer that is insanity apparently.

I wouldn't bet on this game --- either way.
But in spite of how bad UGA made them look, Ole Miss is due a real Stinker.
Hope to Sweet Jesus it's Thursday night and the Bulldogs come ready to play.
Chuck Oliver had a five minute segment on how he believes we are about to beat them. He seems to think with Rogers and Woody back after a week we'd play a lot better than we have all year.. He doesn't think much of Golding and the Reb defense. He thinks the Rebs are about to into a maroon hornets nest Thursday night. I hope he's right. We'll see.
Oliver is a self important *** hat. If he said State wins, then it will be Ole Miss by a million.
Who is chuck Oliver and is there any reason to believe him? I’m thinking about putting a couple hundred in the money line. Won’t win much if I win, but if I lose I won’t feel bad about it.
Ole Miss is a good team, but they are not unbeatable. They have played some close ballgames against some bad football teams. I don't know how intangibles factor into Vegas lines, but I think the intangibles favor State. I know its cliché' to say "you can throw the records out in a rivalry game", but there is a lot of truth to it. Think about 2001 - in a span of about 5 weeks, we got the stem winding **** beat out of us by Florida and LSU, and also managed to lose to Troy State. By the time November rolled around, I was dreading the Egg Bowl and assuming that they were going to come to Starkville and flat out embarrass us. That did not happen.
That 2001 team was talented as hell. It was just the beginning of the end for Sherrill.
My guess is the casual gambler is thinking: "If you give me the home team and 10+ points in 100 rivalry games, I'm in the black."
My family was sitting in the endzone and watched the ball come right for us and were cheering like crazy until we saw all the confederates sitting along the sidelines waving their flags. We had no idea the ball blew back like that until we watched it on the news later that night. They've had a few and I hope we're due for a win like that.
It'a all going to come down to our offense being able to score and not putting the defense in bad positions. I think defense plays well. I also think they are still pretty bruised up from the GA game. GA put a beat down on them both physically and on the score board. Hit Dart hard a couple of times he will leave the game.
Here is what is going to happen in the most State fashion ever. Dart is out and Spencer Sanders, who we have been making fun of all year for leaving a starting job to hold a clipboard, will start. He is going 34-40 for 420 and 6 TDs.
You have it backwards. If betting activity is affecting the line, it would be because money is coming in on MSU.
