Auburn/Oregon BCS Parlay Spread and Over/Under

Danny Sheridan at USAToday has established at Auburn as a 3 point favorite and the over.under is 74 points.

to avoid ties, I am going to bump the spread and over/under a half point.

you are given free entry to parlay the two bets.

What do you pick:

(Wait for Poll)

My vote is for Auburn and the Under.

5th year in a row (and 4th different team for the SEC). I think both teams offenses will be a little stale after 5.5 weeks off.

74 points?!?! That’s crazy, right? I don’t care how good the offenses are.

I took Oregon just because I think they’re both excellent teams, and when in doubt, take the points.

But yes, parlays are sucker bets.

I think Auburn wins rather handily, but 74 points is too many. If either team gets a safe lead they will let the air out and secure the championship. I took Auburn/under.

308 views and only 10 votes. C’mon people, the poll is anonymous so not even your pride is on the line.

I took Oregon and the over, just because.

Parlays ARE sucker bets, but I took Auburn and the over. It’s possible both teams will score over 74.

Another Auburn/Under bet here. The SEC is just that damn good.

Not a huge sample but as of 6 pm et, we got a 3-7-6-6 spread. No clear -cut winner. The bookies would love us as they want the bets to spread evenly.

Under. Someone has to play some defense sometime in a BCs bowl.

Auburn/Under. Even Auburn’s mid-level SEC defense is better than what Oregon has mostly faced this year. My guess is something like 34-24 Auburn.

A couple of days before the big game and auburn is now a two point favorite according to Sheridan odds on the usatoday website. 74 points is still the over/under.

Is that why they have a losing record in bowl games this year?

Give me Oregon and the over. Yes 74 points is a ton, but both teams have shitty defenses. They could easily break 100.

auburn and the under if this is the kind of parlay where i get the six. i mean auburn ought to be fine getting three and is no way this puppy will go over 80.

bet mensa’s house on it.

The line has dropped to Auburn -1 and the total has dropped to 72. The poll has closed but I will post my final score: Auburn 63, Oregon 24.

I cannot see how Oregon can stop Auburn. And I don’t care about Oregon’s well-documented training regimen. Cam Newton will be eating duck for dinner tonight! Too bad he’s not playing Oregon State! :smiley:

I think I closed the poll as of today, I didn’t want anyone to come in to disrupt the results tomorrow.

But I should have extended the time until 7 pm cst.

Well count you for taking Auburn and the over.

I really do not know what Peeker is trying to say. Sometimes his posts mimics his poker play, very erratic.

He’s confusing a parlay with a “teaser”:

By the way, the line is now a pick 'em. This means that alot of money is being bet on Oregon. I’ve never seen a line move this much on a big game without any major unexpected injuries. It started at Auburn -3.5. I still say Auburn torches them.

Agreed, there must be a lot of ‘smart’ money being bet on Oregon for the line to move this much. enough to be suspicious? I sure hope not.

I wonder how much money is wagered on this game compared to the Super Bowl?

Last week, I heard seats were selling on-line for nearly $4000. FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS!! Some recession.

I’ll be comfortable on my recliner, watching in High Def. I just wish Brent Musberger was not here. Maybe I can do my own version of the Brent Musberger Drinking Game

After one quarter, the ‘under’ is looking good. 0 points. But Oregon is on the doorstep of the endzone.

That field is not right. Too soft. The offensive players can’t pick up enough speed or make cuts! I call “fix” on the under. :dubious:
