The point spread just doesn't seem right?

How are we only 18.5 favorites against Auburn? Auburn is atleast the 4th to 6th worst team in the West. If we are only favored by 3 possessions to them I hate to see what the spread will be when we play Florida, South Carolina, Mississippi State, Alabama, and Arkansas.
28

damn, you're dumb.

Home field worth 3. Auburn refs worth 10.

We are favored by almost 3 TD's on the road against an SEC team who won the BCS Championship 2 years ago. It will be ok, man.

I'll take an 18 point win right now.

Only 18.5? When was the last time we breezed through a road game in the SEC at night?
All of our fans are predicting a blowout, but I think the verdict is still out on this team. I think the game will be closer than most think.
They have absolutely nothing to lose and will have a chip on their shoulder with something to prove, especially after last year. And a night game in Jordan-Hare in front of 85,000+ will be a hostile environment, and will be intimidating for many of our first year starters.

That's a lot of points for a conference opponent on the road. We've only played in Tiger Stadium so far, keep that in mind.
The guys that set these lines know what they are doing.

Right, Ole Miss...
I don't know. We never have it easy in Jordan-Hare. Auburn isn't that good, but they have enough talent to pull off an upset.

JHS has been a house of horrors for us. Hell the only time we've beaten them there in the Saban-Miles era was the Jarrett Lee game in '08.

They all disagree with you, but I think it is a little light also. They barely made it out against ULM at home. That would've put them at 0-3. It's not perfect science to compare them against Arky, which just barely lost to ULM 2 weeks ago, but it's pretty close. Bama is for all intents and purposes on a level playing field with LSU, and they went into fayetteville only to come out 52-0. I don't expect that kind of handling in auburn, but 21 points seems a little light.
All that to say, it really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things as long as we win

spreads are put out to hedge the bets. its not that hard to understand.
Posted on 9/17/12 at 3:06 pm to lsutiger2011
We're on the road and historically don't blow them out away from home.
If it's free money, you may as well get some.

Chill out dude, we are an 18 point favorite on the road in the SEC. That's a pretty high sign of respect I think.

Trust me, I understand what a spread is. I've been betting for years. That doesn't mean that the initial spread wasn't a little light, at least in my opinion
