Tons of hypotheticals here. Winners win. Bottom line, and Saban is a winner. Less, well....

Who said anything about winning?
Bama is almost a 2 td favorite. We are talking about betting line here.
Everything i said had to do with the fact that LSU should cover the 13.5. Not that they would win.

I was merely stating that even at our worst and Bama's best, they still couldn't beat us by double digits.

Bama is 1-4 against the spread after byes recently.
LSU is 4-0 against the spread after byes.
3 of those contests in those records were LSU-Bama games.

I said it in the other betting thread and i'll say it again here. History is in the vast favor of LSU to cover the spread. I'm not a betting man, but i find it hard to convince myself that Bama covers given the nature of the past games.

It's no different than a LSU-Ole Piss game. LSU is usually double digit favorites, and we've only beaten them by double digits 3 of the last 12 meetings.
