Me too, especially in bowl games. The underdog wins 60% of bowl games.

Really??? Do you happen to have anything to back that up? That's pretty interesting if it's over 50% of the time...

that will go up. LSU playing a road game basically against a top 15 team. The money should pour in for Tech.

Why? Do you have some inside information about LSU renting a defense for this game that none of us knows about?

I can see betting the over, but not taking the points. 3.5 seems awfully low to me. I don't think we sniff two scores of Tech.

Let me refresh your memory: we lost to stinkin' Arky, had to have the mother of all comebacks in order to beat a Sun Belt conference team on our Homecoming, lost badly to Ole Miss, and our most impressive win for the season is a road win at South Cackolacky. The only other win of note is our season opening victory over Appy State.

Go back and read my posts. I am the eternal optimist, but I am just calling this one as I see it. LSU does not have the defense to stop Tech.

The only way LSU wins is if Tech plays sloppy, which sometimes happens with an option team, but LSU isn't exactly known for creating turnovers this season, so I don't foresee that scenario playing out.

All of that said, I hope I can come on this board the day after the game and eat crow, which I will do if I am proven wrong.

After Bradford wins the Heisman, the Florida line will go up.

The Heisman winner's team never fares well.

Get your money in on Florida now.

I was leaning towards USC and Texas Tech, they both cover easily.

O/U is low. UGA/Ga Tech - 87 points scored.

Unless there is a change on the defensive staff, I can't see them scoring less than 35.

I watched OU play quite a few times this year. Their defense is not good enough to keep Florida in check. With a healthy Harvin, I expect Florida to put up some serious #s in this game.
