Vegas O/U win totals

[85Bears]

From LeftField Lounger :

“Since the Vegas under/over win totals were released, Mississippi State has moved from 4.5 wins on the season to just 4 wins on the season. There is still a pretty heavy bet from America that State does not win 4 games. We could see that number drop to 3.5 wins by the time the season starts”


any idea why the win totals are dropping ? Injuries or someone ineligible ?

First-time head coach
new system
New QB that is injury prone
a DC that no one on this board had ever heard of until he was hired
zero 1st, 2nd or 3rd team preseason SEC players
potentially our best player is a transfer center

Other than *that*, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?

Vegas is just buying into the SEC media bias against us.***

People starting to realize this fall could be really bad. I’m sticking with 5 wins a my prediction. But it could be anywhere from 3-6.

 

[OG Goat Holder]

I just can't wait to see all our fans blame Leach.

This shitshow is going to lie firmly at the feet of our leadership, Arnett and the RuN dA bAwL mouth breathers, and then whatever Lebby does (both his big portal hauls and coaching ability).

 

[POTUS]

When you return 3 starters, it won’t be easy to lay the blame on the coach before the previous coach.

I knew that he’s been saying he only sees three wins but didn’t realize that @Mr. Cook put his money where his mouth is… **

I’m sure you can’t wait to let us know.

 

[TrueMaroonGrind]

Man 4 wins O/U is tough. If it follows Mullen first year that sounds about right. Fighting hard to get to 5 wins. Strap in.

Cue me, baby….

[57stratdawg]

I’d hammer us over 3.5

Spoiler

I had us over last year too

 

[MSUDC11-2.0]

Brutal schedule doesn’t help. Gonna be hard to imagine a scenario where we go better than 7-5. And it doesn’t take mental gymnastics to talk yourself into 4 or 5 wins from there.

This is probably the fewest returning contributors I can ever remember us having in my 25 years of being a fan. I do like the portal pieces we added on offense but it’s impossible to say how well they will gel.

I think it’s in our best interest to get off to a strong start in the first month of the season… October and November might be rough.

 

[Anon1665155225]

Not saying this is a 6 or 7 win season but………the gambler in me wants to pound the over at 3.5. As unbiased as I can be, I think that’s easy money.

Question. Is that a 1 to 1 payoff or are they laying odds on that?

When all you croot is QBs and WR and most of those have flown the coop, it leaves the cupboard pretty bare. It’s not all on Leach but he didn’t help. Couple that with a death followed by a lame duck staff and here we are. Plenty of blame to go around

Yeah I would be pretty surprised if we don’t win at least 4.

It's going to be a rebuilding year. Hard to imagine that Arnett could have done any worse, he made Croom look like Jimmy Johnson. If we can get to 6-6 (that's a huge lift), the future will be bright. As long as we look somewhat organized, prepared and play with enthusiasm it will be a successful season even if we only win four or five games.

If the O/U gets to 3, Imma taking out a second mortgage and heading for the Beau Rivage.

 

[OG Goat Holder]

When all you croot is QBs and WR

Sounds like Lebby to me.

Leachs teams had good defense.

When it’s Mississippi State, it’s never easy money.

 

[BirdPuppy]

No, o4 is juiced to the over. o3.5 is certainly juiced to the over.

Question. Is that a 1 to 1 payoff or are they laying odds on that?

I’m not expecting much this season, but if it dips to 3.5, I may get in on that action too

Maybe not a sure thing, but I sure like our odds on the over at 3.5.

 

[SchrodingersDawg]

Haha. The irony of a m17er with the EQ of a 4th grader disparaging "mouth breathers". I love this place!

Don’t think I’ve ever heard that term other than about 1,000 times from Goat. I assume it’s an insult. But if you’ve got nasal congestion issues, what choice do you have?

 

[Called3rdstrikedawg]

W Eastern Kentucky no way we lose this one
W Arizona State toss up, they were 3-9 last year
W Toledo toss up, they were decent last year
W Florida toss up but State wins
L Texas
L Georgia
L A&M
W Arkansas no way we lose this one
W UMass no way we lose this one
L Tennessee
W Missouri toss up, QB battle
L Ole Miss

3 locks
4 toss ups (I think we win 2 for sure, but I think we win all 4 toss ups with the offense.)
I think you will be safe on over 3.5.

 

[L4Dawg]

An over under of 4 is pretty much spot on unfortunately.

 

[L4Dawg]

If it's from Goat and intended to be derogatory, it's by definition a complement. I have incoming in 5...4...3...2...1...zzzzz.

[dog12]

Just looked at our schedule, and I am predicting 4 wins.

I sure do hope I'm wrong, and we can win 7 . . . or more.

 

[PooPopsBaldHead]

Because this is the reaction every football fan, coach, pundit, or handicapper has when looking at our roster?

 

[stateu1]

Well CROSS him off THEN. hahahaa.

 

[retire the banner]

We haven’t won less than 5 games in 16 years (not including Leach’s COVID year).

 

[BirdPuppy]

We’ve gone winless in the SEC once in the last 34 years.

 

[thatsbaseball]

Maybe not a sure thing, but I sure like our odds on the over at 3.5.

We're never as bad as they say we'll be or as good as we think we'll be.

 

[L4Dawg]

Yeah I would be pretty surprised if we don’t win at least 4.

I wouldn't be that surprised if we don't win four. This has all the makings of an atrocious season. This is a total rebuild from the ground up.

 

[L4Dawg]

Sounds like Lebby to me.

Leachs teams had good defense.

Leach didn't do anything for the defense. That was Arnett. Leach coached the offense.

I can see predicting a loss to tsun after a few games but pre-season?

 

[MSUDC11-2.0]

I don’t feel like four wins with EKU, Toledo, UMass, Arizona State, and Arkansas on the schedule is asking very much.
