That's where I figured it would be based on the teams averages.

I thought so.

I have a feeling this game may be a dogfight.

Auburn will come to play.

They have a much better defensive line. And State was able to get pressure yesterday.

Better dline and better rush offense. If auburn and florida play on a neutral field 10 times auburn prob wins 6 or 7

I thought it would open at 11. I guess they feel that AU can run the ball. LSU actually handles that well. I already feel a 40-13 win coming for LSU.

It was 12 or so in futures just a couple weeks ago, no chance it’s only 7.5 today.

Auburn might have the most inaccurate QB in the SEC. Their run game is all about gimmicks, and not so much about being a power running team, and that is why LSU can stop their run game, knowing their QB is not a big threat against our secondary.

Auburn will have to try to throw the ball downfield to keep up with LSU, and Bo Nix is a guy who makes a lot of mistakes when he's asked to do too much, as we saw when they faced Florida.


For these reasons, I don't know what Vegas is thinking. Yeah, Auburn may have a better defensive line, but everyone was saying Florida was going to get to Burrow with a 4 man rush, too. How'd that work out for them? When LSU's offense goes all out, which it was clearly not trying to do yesterday, there isn't much time for a defensive lineman to get to Burrow. Our receivers get open too quickly, and Joe makes very quick decisions, usually.

Not at all to be honest. Maybe slightly better than Florida’s

Auburn has been abysmal in Tiger Stadium for the past 10 yrs. That's a trend that should continue.

I think the big difference is Florida was missing 2 of it’s best pass rushers. AU has the guys playing this weekend. I do agree about their QB, I think him playing @Tiger Stadium will be tough and he will have to throw to beat us. Having said that, our defensive backfield has given up some plays this year and I think he will have a better game early than we would like. I think this game is going to be a lot like the Florida game where it is back and forth for most of the first 3 quarters and then we will pull away at the end. I expect us to win by 10-14 points but I do think it will be close for most of the game. They are a very good defensive team and unlike Florida, they don’t have injuries like Florida did.

If Vegas had known Zuniga and Grenard were not going to play much and Trask was going to handle the situation so well the line wouldve been about this.

Both Florida and Auburn are really good teams when healthy. If Auburn can run on LSu and pressure the QB, it will be be a classic.

LSu wins no matter what. They have Joe Burrow.

Not that this doesn't concern me too, but we'll have a healthy, rested Charles back for Aub. I'm thinking that will help some.
