Vegas thinks we go 7-5. Thoughts?

thats laughable. Lots of money to be made off LSU and the over.

We should go 10-2, 11-1 not out of the question. Too much talent

that would be a rough start to bk tenure.

9-3 would be a good year.

you can actually find 6.5 at BetRivers.

Over. But at 8-4 I would not take over or under.

No way we lose to Florida

I’m kind of disappointed in that because it is not really an improvement over what we did before we fired the whole coaching staff. However, I honestly have no reason to believe we will do any better than that either.

what were the odds on your bet?

Personally, I bet the OL is a lot better, the wide receiver room and the running back room will both be off the charts, Nussmeier will be far better than most people even realize, and the defense will be one of the best in the SEC. As I can't see LSU losing more than 2 games maybe even less.

Do they? Or do they think that’s the perfect place to put it in June that will have a bunch of us thinking it’s easy money and hammer the over, and a bunch of other people see we don’t have a starting QB named, have a huge question at OL, a brand new coaching staff and system, and a really hard schedule and will hammer the under. You throw a grand on the over, Daniels wins the QB job, Myles transfers, then Daniels tears his ACL the week of the Florida State game, and we’re rocking with 2 scholarship QBs who didn’t get a whole lot of reps in the fall. Then that under starts to look pretty tasty. (I’m not saying any of that will happen—Nuss might win the job straight up—just saying there’s a scenario(s) where that “easy money” doesn’t look too easy. If we go into opening week healthy, that 7-5 will definitely be 8-4 before we kick off in the Dome.

And looking at the schedule, most people make the mistake of taking every game individually, but forget the cumulative effect playing in the SEC has. Plus opening against FSU. There’s no breathers. We could beat Bama, get beat up, come out the next game flat, and lose to Arkansas. Or Ole Miss. Or Aggie. Or whoever. It seems y’all pick the best team you think we’ll beat and just assume of we’re good enough to beat them, we should just automatically beat every team not as good as them. Unfortunately, for every team in America not named Bama, it doesn’t work like that. And even they are susceptible to the occasional Ole Miss, Auburn, or—gasp!!—A&M.

Or Florida State may be way better than we think. Or Tennessee. Whoever. I just think every year we seem to just go down the list of games and put a “W” or “L” next to it like they’re played in a vacuum. They’re not.

That said, I’d set it at 8-4 and not bet it. I think we’re gonna be a lot better than most think, and unless shite goes sideways, can definitely go 9-3. I’d actually be a little disappointed with 8-4 on June 27th. But I think we’re gonna be in a lot of close games and have to depend on some dudes to step up and make some game-winning/saving plays. And right now, I think we’ve got ‘em. Who exactly they are, though, is yet to be seen. Tell you one thing, though—can’t fricking wait.
