I am expecting between 6.5 and 8

Very difficult to believe all these posts in thread after thread questioning the significance of the national generic margin and what it means to the outcome.

That's like people who won't he happy if you tell them their favorite NFL team will have a +100 point differential at the end of the season. After all...that can be 14 losses by 1 point apiece and two victories by 57 apiece.

I'll take my chances.
