If you made this post in 2010, you'd be correct.

S&P says 6 wins: http://www.footballstudyhall.com/2016/8 ... labama-lsu

My homer viewpoint is that the mathematical model is going to struggle to reconcile Mizzou's 2015 which was an aberration and not predictive in a lot of ways(good and bad alike). They've got 3 gimme non-cons, 3 conference games against likely bottom dwellers, 2 against teams that are middle of the pack, and 4 shots at conference contenders. 6 wins and a bowl should be the expectation, with 7 being above average and 8+ being a real good year.

Yeah, it was a weird last year, to say the least. I would put the O-Line as key for this team to do well. And I have no idea about this O-line,

Anyway, it's cool to see them start with a good opponent rather than SEMO. Pull upset off in WV, and could get something going.

Okay... Actually we are going to do cover 5. We pick five games against the spread each week. You get points based on how much you win AGAINST the spread.

For instance. Arkansas is -3 v Mizzou. I pick Ark. Arkansas win by 10. I get 7 points. If Mizzou won by 7, I would get -10.
