Lol no it’s not. It could hit but it’s far from free money.

If you are so confident, why wouldn’t you just do moneyline?

I do think Aggy’s only path is to eek out a close game against us against the backdrop of the 12th man giving LSU issues getting their calls in. Whereas, I could see us beating them by two scores plus with how we are playing right now.

I always place big money on the opposition of LSU. I can't handle if LSU loses a game a bunch of queers so I'll be placing a large bet on the aggies ML

LSU won a game at South Carolina they very easily could have lost, and maybe should have lost but for SC deciding it was a good idea to bilndside Nuss to negate a pick 6 that likely would have put the game away.

In front of an electric Tiger Stadium LSU didn't lead for a single second vs. Ole Miss. They did enough to hang in the game and converted some clutch plays late.

Last week LSU moved the ball well, but continue to stall out and had to settle for FGs. Despite dominance on the stat line, it was a 16-10 game with 5:00 to go in the 3rd quarter. Week's terrific play changed the game. But it's not like LSU fully dominated from start to finish.

Is LSU playing is most complete ball of the season? Probably. But I don't think they have been so dominant to say "Aggy’s only path is to eek out a close game against us against the backdrop of the 12th man giving LSU issues getting their calls in". A&M is a good team too.

IMO, A&M's path to victory is this:

LSU is able to stop Moss on most plays, but he's still able to crease LSU for some big runs just like Arkansas and (to a lesser extent) Ole Miss did. LSU's safeties are still sub-par. That forces LSU to commit another guy to stopping the run. Wiegman is inconsistent, but he's able to hit a few big plays against LSU's very average secondary.

On defense, A&M easily handles LSU's run game with 3 or 4 man fronts. They play a lot of coverage like Ole Miss did and force Nussmeier to be patient and show discretion. He does that to some degree, but still looks to press the ball deep. He's inefficient on those throws and gives A&M 3-4 shots at an INT. They get at least one, maybe two. At home, it's enough to give A&M the win whereas Ole Miss couldn't close out LSU on the road.

I'm not saying that will happen, but there is a path besides LSU just not being able to get the calls in.

Also, arkansas had their hands on about 3 different nussmeier throws, but people dont want to remember that. I could easily see a couple INTs for nuss and that being the difference, or penalties. I do think theyll shut down our run game to some extent. They have personnel arkansas didnt.

Who are the officials? This will play a huge roll in the outcome as well.

Not so sure about that but the Arkansas game last week was actually free money. I should have bet my life savings on that

Nuss's extreme self confidence is what allows him to make the throws like the TD to Anderson to tie the OM game, the go for the throat TD pass in OT, and the pass to Thomas that was initially called a TD, but reversed. However, a byproduct of that confidence is he is going to give opponents a hadful of chances to intercept passes every game because he's willing to try to thread the needle. You have to live with the bad to get the greater benefit of the good (at least for now)

That's a pretty safe bet. LSU's running approach sucks, and is pretty easily kept in check if the opponent had a decent front 7...which A&M does. The running approach is basically "Hey Durham, see if you can take the ball from a dead stop 5 yards in the backfield and make a few guys miss. Oh, and those ends crashing? Make them miss too because they aren't going to worry about the possibility of the QB keeping the ball"

I hoped that coming out of the bye week they were going to tweak the approach a bit. They didn't. So it's hard to imagine that will change now.

Your analysis really makes me like the under for this game, which makes it sound like the Ole Miss game all over again. If that’s the case, it probably favors the Aggies at home. But I just have a feeling we have flipped a switch as a team. We’ll see.
