Where are you putting your money?

Things working in LSU's favor:
-LSU is 7-0 at home; Vandy is 0-2 on the road
-Jenkins is expected to debut tonight

Things working in Vandy's favor:
-Johnny Jones

LSU at home is a gimme.
LSU on the road... well if you watch, you know.

I wouldn't put my money anywhere on this game but if I had to I'd go with LSU.

Call me crazy but I think they win tonight.

Be happy we are a favorite.

They aren't terrible either. Quit acting like you've watched one of their games

Have you watched any LSU basketball the last 3 seasons?
Yes. We win at home against teams we're supposed to beat, and we give teams we're supposed to have no chance against a run for their money. Oklahoma, Kentucky, etc.

We should win tonight. They play pretty decent at home

Nope. None.

While we do have a generally good overall record at home the last few years, my point is that it's not like we've just destroyed teams and I can think of several games from the last few years that we lost and home and either could have or definitely should have won. Namely, Wake Forest last year. We haven't lost at home this year, but we've played some atrocious teams down to the wire. Certainly far from a "gimme" when we're at home, which is really all I'm arguing.

We're 7-0 at home.
How much better would you like for us to be?

Please tell me any possible scenario where we could be better than undefeated at home. lol

Then how in the world will you say a team cannot win if you don't watch or have any idea how they play at home vs on the road?

You can't pick ONE game from last season and say that's why we won't win tonight. Especially if you didn't watch it.

We could actually play teams who are halfway decent.

The game opened as a pick'em, and now it's LSU -1.5, so the early money is going on LSU.

1. Jesus, man, I was being sarcastic. I watch every game.
2. I never said we cannot win, I said it's silly to say it's a gimme. We very well may win. Vandy isn't good
3. We've played an absolutely horrid home schedule thus far and haven't exactly looked great.
4. Why am I not allowed to cite an example from last year of us playing at home not being a gimme when you are allowed to use the last 3 years' record at home for your argument?

77-71 Loss to WF (11-20, 2-16)
76-69 Loss to Bama (18-15, 8-10)

2014-2015: Losses to Auburn, UT, A&M at home
2013-2014: Losses to Rhode Island, UGA

Dont act like bad home losses dont ever occur.
