Dude. We will lose 2 games. Don't know how or to who, but we will lose 2 games. I've seen a lot of talented teams under Miles... We always lose 2+ games (except '11 when we got drilled by Bama). Just get it already... This is who we are... Great recruiter, awful game day coach...


Just wondering...can you name all of the CFB teams in the last 11 years that have lost 1 or less games every year? I'm sure this list is huge, so I'll grant you some time. Must be a mountainous amount of coaches out there consistently losing 1 or less games in this time span. This list is going to be greatness....can't wait.

These games will move a ton. the ACTUAL betting lines will not be valid until the week of the game. To say LSU will be favored in every game? If LSU loses to Wiscy or Florida they wont be favored down the line. Same with Bama or Georgia or anybody else. These lines are set to get money moving and get vegas some dollars. These are not the lines that will stay intact for the duration of the season so yes, if LSU is undefeated they may be favored, they may not. These lines now mean absolutely nothing. I think we may be an underdog to UT as well. I know we were a dog to LSU and Auburn and even State on one account before last season started. By gametime we were not. We are also 7/1 the fave to win the national championship. A couple losses and Bama wont be the favorite to win it. Means nothing right now.

You should bet on them then. Seriously, take Bama and Arkansas and you'll either be happy we won or happy you made money.


Flawed reasoning. If I don't bet, I am guaranteed to be happy that I still have my money while still having the chance of being happy if we win, too. Also, money is more important than who wins a football game, so if we did happen to win, being happy we won would not make up for being unhappy I lost money.

Nevertheless, if a gun were to my head and I had to bet my life on those two games right now with those lines, my life would absolutely be on Bama and Arkie.
