re: 42% chance for an LSU win at A&M?

Another made up ESPN trick to keep them interesting. Like qbr.

They will lose.
#2 rush defense
Excellent at pass rush

And LSU didn’t cover at home against rice

This is true. It's really not a good algorithm

I think some people just don't have a fundamental understanding of statistics.

A coin flip has a 50% probability of landing on heads.
Say for instance you flip a coin 10 times and you get 8 heads. Does that mean that the 50% probability of getting either heads or tails was false? No, it just means that over a small sample size the results skewed a certain way. Flip it 10,000 times and the results will almost certainly regress much closer to 50/50 heads/tails.

According to a lot of metrics (total offense for one) LSU should not have won as much as they have this year. You look at the teams with similar offenses and all of them have performed much worse than LSU. Doesn't mean that people that study these things for a living don't know what they're talking about. It just means that LSU has defied the odds.

LSU will be pick em at worst.

Quit paying attention to that. ESPiN fpi nerds were about to take hits off the cars tailpipe when citadel/bama was 10-10 at half. Its been proven all year their formula is garbage.

We will struggle at aTm but win. 28-23 LSU

Ok, 3 pts to A&M for home field. Still do not see how LSU is under 50%

For one, it has been manufactured to be LSU's rivalry week game.

Second of all, TAMU is on the level of Auburn, where we struggled.

Third of all, when we've played away this year, we've been way worse, not just a little bit.

LSU 22 Auburn 21
LSU 19 UF 27
LSU 24 Arkansas 17

Fouth of all TAMU has the best rush defense by far that anybody outside of playing Michigan St, has played.

This game is likely a close 3 point win.

How do you say how wrong their formula is but admit that we'll struggle?

That's essentially what the ESPN FPI is saying as well.

Just disagree in general with the fpi. What was the fpi vs Georgia? Miami? They had bama 99.9% then at half it was 10-10 today. ESPiN is hot garbage.

We will struggle ve aTm and might lose

ATM’s yell leaders are so gay its incredible.

Pretty sure FPI isn't suppose to predict halftime scores. It predicts the final score and Bama won by 33
