I thought it would be more than a touchdown, but I guess that's reason #32 I'm not an odds maker.

Edit: For what it's worth (which is absolutely nothing), here is the win probability from OddsShark.com:

Seems more or less right, given that home field is usually worth about 3 to the home team.

Seems about right. It's almost always a close game in StarkVegas.

If I were a betting man, I'd toss a 100 on it.

Seems right. If the penalties don't get addressed it could keep MSU in the game.

Too low. It will be greater than just 6.5 points.

Considering the last few matchups between these two, I'd say that's a fair spread.

A lot of unknowns still with the team. It's why I'd stay away and find a better game to bet on.

I think LSU covers 6.5 pretty easily. IMO, should be around 8.5.

Mississippi State had a blocked punt for TD, LA Tech was inside the 10 and fumbled for a scoop and score, LA Tech was inside the 10 and LOST 87 YARDS.

That game against LT could have easily been like 43-35 or 50-35

ETA: What people fail to realize is the last 2 meetings have been a relative blowout early, only for LSU go insanely conservative (even for them) and allow MSU to comeback. If we have a team that gets a lead and keeps the pedal on the gas (which all signs point to yes), then I expect a 2 TD victory

Think about it this way:

A team that's won 49-0 and 57-21 is a touchdown underdog at home. On a neutral field they would be a 10 point underdog. Vegas doesn't think too highly of their "great" wins

And what are you trying to say with that?

Les was 10-1 against State with an average margin of victory of 19 points

LSU has not soundly defeated State in a while. State is good at home. State has the second best QB in the conference and has what appears to be a great defense.

I'm actually surprised the line is not closer to -3 LSU.

Not sure where you saw -3.5. Opened at -6.5 on Bovada (off shore). It opened at -7 in Vegas.

State has 6-7 NFL guys on their defense and Fitzpatrick led the SEC in total yardage last year.

So we are going to win 6.5 - 0?

I think our offense can put up more points than that.
