Never bet on an LSU game. May be time to take out a second mortgage on the house. No way we cover 3.5 on the road at FL.

The lock may be the under. All signs point to a total that does not threaten 40.

Because the oddsmakers see two inept offenses (Franks as a freshman QB starting due to injury btw), two capable defenses (LSU will have Lawrence and Alexander back) and a conservatively played conference game ahead.

The bets were running heavier to the FL side so the bookies need to even out the bets. The betting line is set to keep balanced money on a game, not indicate the actual outcome. The only time it represents what the prognosticators think will be the actual outcome is when the bets first go live.

U have it backwards baw.

If they wanted LSU bets the line would have moved up to like +7

It's moving the other way

While I don't have any sort of feel to how the Florida game will go, Troy is probably a little better than people think. They only lost by 6 last year to Clemson and finished with a 10-3 record. Their QB threw for 3,200 yards and RB ran for 1,300+, both returning this year.

This LSU game was revenge for losing last year to Clemson. They had it circled on their calendar and knew they were good enough to win. Our fans weren't even up for the gam e and were without our best player.

Motivations will be much different in the Swamp. All that being said, I'd still bet on Florida to cover if I were forced to pick.

Obviously you don't know how to read line movements. The bets were coming in on the LSU side, not FU, hence why the line shrunk from 5.5/6.5 depending on where you looked shortly after it opened.

Sounds like A bunch of excuses... I really don't care but its TROY for Christ's sake... They play in the same comference As ULL... Are they a good team??? sure... But they shuld NEVER come into TS and beat an LSU team......... I also don't care what they did LAST YEAR... It doesn't seem to have A difference on how LSU is playing.....
