Looks like the opening lines have Cal favored by 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 points

Given how much of an unknown Miles is at the QB spot at this point, I'd definitely stay away from the O/U line. In fact, I'd probably stay away from the game in general but I agree with Paws in that I like us to win this game.

I'll be the devil's advocate in the Auburn vs. Miss St game ... Miss St is the best team I've seen in the country this year so far. I think that they beat Auburn.

Miss State 34 LSU 29
Auburn 41 LSU 7

Miss State also gave up 34 points to UAB. Why are they the best? Comparing scores is often a futile exercise, but Auburn played the best game of the season last week. Mississippi State has been impressive and the game is at home, but Auburn has been better so far.

Did you watch the Miss St vs. LSU game? Did you look at the box score? Did you not notice that Miss St was up in the 4th quarter 34-10 and it took 2 late TDs for LSU to get the score close?

You cite UAB, 21 of their 34 points were on 75+ yard or longer TDs - which is about the only weakness Miss St has if you can find enough time (or Miss St disinterest) to execute against.

I'm sure you also noted that Miss St was up on TAMU by 48-17 at one point before 2 late TDs.

Why do I think that they are the best team in the country? Senior QB that is super poised and makes a lot of plays. Strong line play on both sides. Solid running game. Stops the opposing running game. I've watched Auburn and I don't think that they are as explosive as they were last year.

The weakness of Miss St isn't something that I expect Auburn to be able to exploit.

I've seen enough of Mississippi State to know they aren't playing a senior QB.
