There's absolutely 0 chance that Oregon would be favored over FSU right now on a neutral field.

Yeah his numbers are pretty bad. Florida State probably wouldn't open as less than a FG favorite against anyone right now.

I know it's not happening , I'm just trying to pick someone's brain that has a lot of knowledge about the odds makers. Want to know if Vegas would have LSU a slight dog , big dog, or maybe even get some points.



probably have us as a dog. I would guess Baylor -3.5

This doesn't add up given where the LSU/A&M line opened.

1) My opinion

2) "Lines" for a game like this would be for neutral field.

3) LSU @ Home is almost impossible to beat.

4) I think Texas A&M Matches up VERY well against Baylor for a shootout (IE Manziel factor)

5) LSU vs Texas A*M @ LSU is a totally different dynamic.

6. I'm not sure how LSU matches up against Baylor and think TEXAS A*M could win but maybe barely lose (come down to final drive) and LSU would lose in a 1 game setting.

Currently, Statfox power ratings would have Baylor -12, Sagarin has it Baylor -11, Linemakers has it 3..I don't know what LVSC, Goldsheet, Sports Reporter, Don Best, etc..sets would have it on paper..

But, there is no way that Henry/Elihu,etc../Pinny, Lee Amaitis/Cantor, Sean Van Patten/LVSC, Spiros/Greek, Skip/Grande, CRIS,etc..would open Baylor as double digit chalk vs LSU..

Given LSU were preseason 5 pt dog at UGA and lost by 3 as 3 pt actual dog, and 9 pt preseason dog at Bama losing by 21 as 12.5/13 pt actual dog..

LSU would be opened a single digit dog, and then let the wiseguys steer it out the opening gates..

Baylor scoring 61 PF - 17 PA vs LSU 37 PF - 23 PA averages, suggest probably at least a 3 or 4 to 5.5 window..very doubtful a full TD fav..

Baylor's weak schedule strength, close final margin vs KSU, 42 allowed to WVU & 34 pt allowance to TT(few teams on schedule with any punch), suggests SEC pedigree and LSU consistent elite status(and public perception), coupled to better recruiting/roster talent, would keep this line very reasonable(short) despite some current power rating sets suggesting otherwise.

We'd be a short dog. Probably around +3 or so.

Baylor = TAMU + a tad better defense, therefore, LSU and Baylor = draw

Yea but we'd be about a Pick'em with A&M on a Neutral field. That's why we're -4 at home.

This thread is way better than I thought it would be. I was expecting idiots to come in posting Baylor -28.5 predictions.

I said the LINE would be at 12.5.


28 points is about what Baylor would beat LSU by.

Not a bad guess.. I think it would be single digits.

You're entitled to your opinion. At least you know Vegas wouldn't set that ridiculous line.

I don't know - Texas Tech hung with Baylor for a good while and they have no depth.

I think LSU would beat Baylor.
