LSU wins but the margin of victory will be less than 18 points IMO.

LSU wins by 20+ easily...I would take that spread without a doubt.

The two DC's are unable to cover the Spread (offense)

Troy plays very well against the spread against big opponents. They usually keep it close and get a moral victory out of it. I think LSU should win the game, but not by 18. Maybe around 10 points max.

I think we are so volatile right you just don't know. I can see us winning by 7 and I can see us winning by 30. Either one wouldn't surprise me.

Nevertheless, past performance being a good indicator of future performance I don't think we matchup well against them so I don't think we will cover.

No way we cover. They are not a shitty team at all (see below). Spread should be 6-10 pts.

@ No. 13 Ohio State 2-1 (1-0) L 28-10
@ Oklahoma State 2-2 (1-0) L 55-24

NO! LSU is not that good at covering. Troy will score and play good D. LSU will win by 17 AT MOST! Take the points and enjoy the game. Lee will get picked and this defense will get picked apart, enough to stop LSU from covering the spread anyway.

Not sure.
I know that the transitive property does not work, but using a common foe,
they beat north texas 45-17, we beat nt 41- 3
18 seem like a lot of points, specially when we may try to give JJ some reps.

I wouldn't take Troy and the pts.

Troy has some playmakers on D that could pose probs if Lee passes too much.
