re: LSU betting line is ENORMOUS.

I think with the big spread, it is natural to kind of back off and get a little complacent, especially after the really good showing against MSU.
It is up to coaches to praise in the film room but also be critical and continue the push to perfection and get them fired up to dominate ARK and not sleep on them.

We are legitimately -1100 on the ML. Is Arkansas this bad? I know they aren’t good but that seems ridiculous.
I have seen so many games be close between bad Arky teams and good LSU teams that I would have a hard time betting on us. But the general public is not so emotional.

This thread will be great to come back to after the game. SEC game with -17. No thanks.

It's the worst offensive line we've had in most Hog fans' lifetime. By far the worst line under Pitt.

I would beg to differ.

Kansas is a solid team and the game is in Lawrence. If you throw in the usual 3 point bump for homefield advantage, KU is favored by a TD. That's not outrageous.
17.5 is a pretty big number. Even with LSU at home.
Georgia was a 27 point favorite over S. Carolina....they won by 14
FSU -25.5 vs. BC...won by 2
Hell, even Colorado was a 23 point favorite over CSU...won by 8...in OT
Yes, LSU looked great on Saturday. But I don't think it's unrealistic to say that is the very best LSU has played under BK. Maybe (hopefully) that is the springboard to great play the rest of the season. But it also could be an outlier. LSU was playing pretty well last year when they showed up in Fayetteville as a 6 point favorite and escaped with a 3 point win over Arkansas with a backup QB.
I think LSU wins. I think they win by double-digits. But I haven't seen enough of this LSU team yet to trust they will cover a 17.5 number. If they throttle Arkansas like they throttled Miss. St then I'll start to trust those big lines a bit more.

It's due to this:
Last week on the road, LSU played it's most complete game
since BAMA from last year.
J. D. coming off his best game as a Tiger.
LSU returns to Tiger Stadium for it's first SEC night game
this year. Stadium will be lit!.
Defense coming off it's best game in years.
Our strength (offense) vs their weakness (defense)

2019 was well...2019. 2016 and 2017 Arkansas was in the tail end of the Bert years and he got fired in 17. I don't think this year's Arkansas is a bad as they were back then.
Are we sure BYU isn't a good team? It's not like they're strangers to being good and beating P5 teams before and they've sent a lot of people to the NFL in their history. I think it's kind of strange to overreact to that loss like it suddenly means Arkansas is trash.
I think we'll win but idk if I'd touch that line.

It’s only strange when you look at the score in a vacuum. I watched some of the game, and their OL is bad, really bad. But mostly, I’ve just listened to a lot of their own fans who are resigned to having a bad team and bad season. They’re banged up on the OL, their best player besides KJ is out (Sanders, the RB), and they don’t have many—if any—real playmakers at WR.
They’re a proud program with a good, veteran QB. I expect them to come out fired up. But if we start fast again and the Tiger Stadium crowd gets into it and stays into it? I think they could be done by halftime. That BYU loss had to brutal psychologically. They’ve got LSU in Baton Rouge Saturday, then A&M in Arlington the next week and are staring 3 losses before October right in the face.

Oh, I wouldn’t either. Still way too small a sample size for either team to be comfortable with that number in an SEC game. But objectively, I think it’s more likely to look more like last week in Starkville than last year in Fayetteville.

Brad Davis got out just in time.

BYU has been a solid team for the last 4 years. Not sure why losing to them makes you "bad".

They won’t roll over but it won’t be like last year, coming off Bama win, and playing in 36’ , Nth winds with an icy field. CBK gets them ready this time. They won’t roll over but they fixn get ROLLED OVER!

LSU is a very bad matchup for Arkansas.

quote:No they can not. Arkansas's OL might be worse than Miss St. I mean that seriously too. BYU is not a good team just like Arizona wasn't a good team and Miss St damn near lost. They lack a run game and they are not a quick pass team. Going on the road after a loss like that is actually the worst thing you can do.
Not really. They outgained BYU by like 150 yds and were driving for the tying score until the final second.
They just kept shooting themselves in the foot with 14 penalties and 2 turnovers. If they somehow clean up the mistakes, they could hang around.

Team like that scares me because of the mobility of their QB
It is Arkansas and for some reason we NEVER blow them out

Anyone betting that and especially parlaying is making terrible gambling decisions.
The off chance LSU loses, you're losing your arse and your parlay. And -1100 does nothing to improve your parlay odds. Only way to bet this is spread or teasing.
