This Can't Be Correct. Or Can It?

The Yahoo! Pick Em Slate is up today (sans the line, for the moment) and has Auburn as the favorite over Alabama? Do they know something we don't? Certainly it will change soon...

And so far, 15% of the people are picking AUBURN, even with no line. How strange!

No
The lines haven’t been set yet, so they just automatically make the home team the favorite until lines are set. I’ve seen UAT by 13 on some sites.
And, in a related story, this week marked the 5,000th performance of the Broadway musical "Cats." It also marked the 5,000th time a guy turned to his wife and said, "What the hell is this?"
That UAT moniker is so lame.
AuBARN.
"So I want everybody to think here for a second, how much does this game mean to you? 'Cause if it means something to you, you can't stand still. You understand? You play fast! You play strong! You go out there and dominate the man you're playing against, and you make his ass quit! That's our trademark! That's our M.O.... as a team! That's what people know us as!" - Coach Nick Saban before the 2008 LSU game.

It is not nearly as lame as your screen name.

Lame?
It’s more accurate and correct than those 12 mythical ‘national championships’ you’re so proud of that you named yourself that, right 12?
That you guys are so ashamed of that place in west alabama called ‘Tuscaloosa’ is what’s lame, right 12? LOL
It's up now
And it’s 12 on Yahoo. I had never seen it with the lines not on yet.

Too bad
that the game is decided by the players, noy Yahoo Pickem.
odds?
I visted the link. I’ve never understood any of that. Someone please explain.
Use AU vs UAT as an example. The fact that I never gamble is probably good.
Researchers discovered new evidence today. They plan on using it to replace the old evidence.
Easy
-10 means your favored to win by 10 or thats the spread they are predicting
+10 means your an underdog by 10
If the underdog wins or loses by 9 they have beat the spread
If the favored wins by 9 they have NOT covered the spread
Tie goes to the house
The secondary numbers are unknown to me or are straight up bet lines. (i believe)
AUBURN is back!
The secondary numbers are usually over/under bets on the combined point total of both teams in the game. But yahoo does not show those.
