has LSU favored for every remaining game of the season with the exception of the Bama game. I’m not reading too much into that, but I do find it interesting.

Tennessee is currently at 4.5 point favorite over LSU.

Ole Miss would be a "pick em" game right now based upon the current "Vegas power ratings"

Florida would probably open as a 2.5 point favorite over LSU right now.

Arkansas would be a 4 or 5 point favorite right now.

Obviously that all can, and will, change in the future. But it's just a snap shot of how the gambling market sees LSU at the moment.

Which is why I said that I’m not reading too much into it. I just find it interesting that ESPNs FPI has a team that’s currently unranked going 10-2.

My current LSU/UT line of my own creation is a Pickem, but it could change slightly based upon this weekend’s games.

You can switch the weeks to see what Sportsbook/app already has a line out.

FD/DK have LSU-UF around +3.5/+4.5
LSU -2 vs Ole Miss

LSU +17 vs Bama
LSU +2.5 vs Arky
LSU +8 vs A&M

I agree with this.

Bama, Tenn, and Ole Miss are our toughest three games left.

It doesn’t.
ESPN FPI gives LSU a 0.5% chance of winning out. 4.1% of making CFP. 12.2% win SECW.
Proj W-L is 8.3-3.8.

My bad. I meant 10-2 not 11-1.

The match-up predictor is based off ESPN FPI. So, FPI shows LSU at 10-2 on a game by game basis, but has them finishing with 8 wins on the season? I’d be interested to see how they calculate that.

Take care of Auburn this week and how we play vs Tenn will be a good indicator of how good this team is. Tenn is the game that I think determines the direction of the team.

I'm not a statistician but if you are looking at a final record for the entire season I don't think calculating those probabilities leads to 11-1. Happy to be disproven but my gut tells me that leads to an 8 or 9 win season.

Edit: I didn't read the whole thread. I'm seeing others posted numbers roughly supporting my intuition.

Yea, me either. I meant to say 10-2 not 11-1.

Pretty simple:

A 75% chance of winning gives you a predicted W-L record of 0.75-0.25. Add all of them up and you'll get a different number than 10-2.

Gotcha. That makes sense. Thank you.
