Tigers are out to break Vegas.

I'd say that oddsmaker, based on the article's sampling of his logic, needs to prepare for a career change.

This guy's entire analysis is based on a falsehood: more yards = better performace. Look at the Sugar Bowl: Michigan won by capitalizing on VT's mistakes and by NOT allowing VT to score touchdowns in the red zone in the 1st half. Defense and special teams are part of the game, too.
Bama may have the better offense, but LSU's defense had a second gear that Bama's seemed to lack especially as the game wore on.
One thing his analysis fails to consider is the ability of the LSU's defense and special teams to create a shorter field for the LSU offense, thus REDUCING the number of yards LSU's offense needs to go to score. If you add back the blocked punt return and Mo's interception return yardage into our offensive production in the first game, the yardage statistics are virtually even.

I’m a Michigan alum and it’s real easy for me to say Virginia Tech beat Michigan in the Sugar Bowl.”
The Hokies didn’t, actually. The Wolverines won 23-20 on a field goal in overtime, despite being outgained by Virginia Tech (377 yards to 184) and eking out 12 first downs to the Hokies’ 22. But Patterson’s point is the same: In both games, the better team lost.
Denial is strong with this one.

Interesting picture of the one-legged Bama player holding his junk...

Bama got a new kicker?

Second, Patterson says, Alabama’s Nick Saban is a better coach than LSU’s Les Miles (even though Miles is 3-2 against Saban). Third, in the parallel universe of Vegas oddsmaking, Alabama actually won its game against the Tigers. You see, oddsmakers keep meticulous ratings of each team, and Alabama has led Patterson’s all year.

Are we SURE this guy is not a Bama alum?

I'd like to have seen him explaining that to Boudreaux when he came to collect his winnings

His explanation makes no sense to me at all.

I'm sorry Boudreaux but even though LSU had more points than Alabama they still lost, it's called the eye test!

What's funny is that if Ford did not step out of bounds. He would have scored a touchdown. Plus LSU dominated the last 5 minutes of regulation on both sides of the ball into overtime.
Good I hope the team sees this shite amongst all the bamatard, " We beat ourselves!".

If it makes a difference to you... they also picked them to win on 11/5!

Lets send him a note asking him for the odds of any NC team in the last 60 years to have out gained all the teams they played in that season.

Tons of money has been put on LSU and Vegas is going to do whatever it can to try and balance the money, even if it is ridiculous logic like their ratings of Bama. It is amazing how highly they regard Bama when LSU beat every good team Bama did and even better teams.
That said, I really don't give a shite what Vegas says, this game isn't going to be won on the field. If Saban is such a better coach than Miles and Bama is the better team clearly, then how exactly did they lose AT HOME? Ah, the bullshite these guys spew.
