re: A&M favored by 3.5? Surely that’s a joke?

Home team usually attracts 3 point advantage on lines so it’s basically would be even on a neutral site and LSU would be slight favorite at home. Ole Miss was a 3.5 favorite over LSU and we saw how that worked out.

They are at home. Not surprised. But it doesn’t matter what Vegas thinks. Intuitive reasoning doesn’t decide these games. That’s why we play them and that they are so entertaining.

It’s not Pokeman.

And as far as wins go, our best win vs Ole Miss is just a little better than their blow out of Missouri.



It isn't even close. OM is light years better than Missouri. Come on man.

Also, the line looks right to me at +3 for us. Basically a pickem at a neutral field.

Last tough game on schedule


you are as dumb as the OP. Alabama is still very talented, Florida is playing MUCH better and we don't play great there usually, and Vandy is actually ranked in the top 25. OU, yes, that is not a difficult game unless they pick up a qb between now and then (kidding).

Irrelevant who beat another team more by.

It is a close game where they favor the home team.

College station is as every bit as challenging to play in when it’s at its peak as anywhere in the country.

yup. this is a gauntlet and far from over.

like i told others we had only bl;own out arky at arky 2 times in the last 20 years until last night.

how many times have we blown out UF at UF? 2002 is the last time i remember. most all games have been close. just like arky. This is the SEC. no gimmes.

Chill everyone. You seriously mad A&M is favored?

This is a good thing. How big a target you want on LsUs back? You want to go into a hostile A&M crowd and have them under the impression they’re the underdog all week

Glad A&M is favored and our boys have that bulletin board material. We have a good chance with that added motivation now

ETA best case scenario is LSU is the underdog at home against Bama too. Let them come into TS and face the same mystique of Death Valley ole Miss did and let’s take them out too. Keep telling us that everyone else is better while we win on the field

They get 3 points for being a home team. This is basically a toss up, which is correct. Should be a good game.

That's before they lost Scourton to injury. Their best pass rusher
