I could probably explain odds, probability, etc. to OP and wouldn't make any difference at all, let alone in relative terms to LSU Basketball.

Yep. Vegas does a relatively good job with predictions taken as a whole but individual games are kind of a crap shoot, especially in basketball and even more so in baseball.
Vegas does the balancing act of trying to get relatively balanced betting from the average gamblers without putting too attractive a bet out for the sharps. At least that is my understanding as a nongambler.
