It'll go down to 3-5 by the end of the week.

There's no way, 9 is low, I'd bet the farm on Aub -9

The point spread may go up to 12-13

Not surprising, but I don't think it's realistic. Seems a little high

Well you can go online and bet it, because that's where it's at. But I disagree, I believe it goes down some toward game time.

Prior to the New Mexico game, that line would have been closer to 14. We are a wildcard right now because of Harris so that line will likely fluctuate a lot prior to Satuday.

Not surprising since I read -8.5 earlier

It would have been about the same. LSU wasn't adjusted 5 points based on that game. They probably weren't moved much at all.

And for those that think the line is high or think this is surprising, what do you think the line would be if the game was in Baton Rouge?

Then go bet it, right now...bet it all big guy.
You say it like this isn't the line...which it is currently...so there is your chance.

I think you are a troll...however, what leads you to believe that LSU will not play this game close? LSU traditionally matches up very well against Auburn (even 2010 with cam), and LSU is an unknown commodity right now with Harris and Beckwith....and with the emergence of Fournette and Dupre. Marshall is no Prescott, and LSU will be able to go single coverage on the wr's and scheme to stop the run. Odds are LSU will lose this game (although I think they have a real chance to win), but to be so sure of yourself that LSU will get blown out smells like a troll or a major negatiger. Auburn has not done a lot to impress this year, and last year they were suspect as well, and fortunate. Again, load up big guy.

Then you should think the current line is too low, not high.

what do you find so funny? They are currently single digit on the road....they would at the worst be +4 or so at home....if not closer to a pickem.

I am patiently waiting for the one genius that always comes to these threads and posts something like "Las Vegas is showing LSU no respect with that line..."

You’re right my friend. Had Harris been the QB for the Wis and MS games, LSU would have a better chance. But he’s only had 3/4 of real game experience. Sometime later in the year when Harris gets a few SEC games under his belt, LSU will be better equip, but Auburn’s QB is arguably the best in the business and LSU’s handling of the Spread is not good. Auburn 27-13
