I would not be remotely surprised if LSU loses. This team is so overrated.

Yeah. That’s what Vegas cares about. Your feelings on who deserves to be favored...

LSU was motivated to beat Bama and stop the streak as well, not to mention that electric Tiver Stadium atmosphere. Unfortunately those factors did not result in victory.

Probably the poor showing versus Alabama coupled with farting around versus Arkansas and a&m being at home

LSU is NOT Alabama. A highly motivated Texas A&M can and probably will give LSU a real battle at home. People who think this will be an easy victory just because LSU has won seven straight against them may be sadly disappointed.

False.... A&M lost to Clemson at home


Okay, but A&M gave them a hell of a battle. The Aggies play much better at home.

Not to mention we're down Feheko, Fulton, Harris, Battle(?), and Joseph(?).

No surprise to me at all. I’m thinking aTm wins this going away. LSU is a very mediocre team. Offense is just about as bad as it has ever has been. No improvement at all this year despite a promising start and what now appears to be a huge anamoly win against UGA. Defense will keep it close for three quarters, but with the injuries and zero help from the offense it will get worn down at the end.

They did, but that was much earlier in the year

Who have they played at home? Other than Clemson, Kentucky was the best team they played. Here is there home record


Northwestern State (W) 59-7
Clemson (L) 28-26
UL Monroe (W) 48-10
Arkansas (W) 24-17
Kentucky (W) 20-14 OT
Ole Miss (W) 38-24
UAB (W) 41-20

Record vs common opponents

When both have wins I would contend LSU's are better

aTm - Arkansas (W) 24-17
LSU - @Arkansas (W) 24-17

aTm - Ole Miss (W) 38-24
LSU - Ole Miss (W) 45-16

Alabama is the only team both have losses against. You could make a case for either team doing better here. I personally think LSU did, my contention hinges on the fact that with just over 5 minutes to go in the 3rd the score was 16-0, the score was 38-16 at that point in the aTm-Bama game.

aTm - @Alabama (L) 45-23
LSU -  Alabama (L) 29-0

LSU won, aTm lost vs these opponents though LSU was at home vs Moo State

aTm - @Mississippi State (L) 28-13
LSU -  Mississippi State (W) 19-3

aTm - @Auburn (L) 28-24
LSU - @Auburn (W) 22-21

aTm in College Station makes me nervous but I think we can take them if we play like we want to win and generate some offense. At home vs SEC competition, they have only Scored over 24 points once vs Ole Miss (38). 20 vs Kentucky and 24 vs Arkansas. Bad news is that LSU's high score away vs SEC opponents is 24 (vs Arkansas) though our other two SEC away games were Auburn and Florida who had legit defenses.

They played a very close game against the #2 team in the nation. That's pretty impressive to any objective observer. It shows what A&M is capable of. Now if Otaro Alaka can't play, that could be huge. I still think this game will be close. Burrow will need good protection in the pocket and if he gets that, LSU might very well roll. We'll see.

Agreed. I'm not saying LSU won't win, but with the game being in College Station, it makes me nervous. Streaks end eventually, and it does seem to me that A&M plays much better at home. As I said before, I think the key will be whether or not LSU's O-line can keep the rush off of Burrow.
