Line down to 2, looks like a sucker bet line to me. Doesn't home field generally mean three points? I don't bet on LSU games, but wouldn't touch this one if I did.

They really are paying zero attention to last weeks debacle.

All I can come up with is that Vegas has been preoccupied this week. No way this line should be closing in like this.

The team and Orgeron have been shite on alllll week (rightfully so)

Lawrence, Alexander, and Guice will be back.

A lot of signs are pointing to an emotional resurgence against a Florida team who is abysmal on offense

Don't think we win but, I don't think it'll be a blowout

It's tough game to set a line. Florida isn't a good team and they've struggled with SECe bottom dwellers to this point. LSU has sucked, but has comparable talent and will likely come out with more emotion.

LSU has sucked

You can say that again, being blown out by Miss St, ekeing out a win over Syracuse, and suffering a shocking home loss to Troy. I can't see how a game vs Florida (with a 3-0 conference record) can even be competitive.

You realize it is moving it because there are people betting on LSU right?

I think that is exactly what they are doing.

You basically have a "Tiger" in a corner....(sorry for the pun)

This is a MUST WIN at all cost for LSU.

This week has a really weird feeling to it, about the football team. Will the bad LSU show up or will the REALLY bad LSU show up.

I mean, we could win but it would take a really excellent game by LSU and some bad luck on Florida's end. My reasoning is the old adage that games are won in the trenches. Well, Florida has the best defensive line we'll see all year minus Alabama. And their Oline is by far the biggest, strongest and most physical we've seen so far. When compared to injuries, depth and experience on both our lines, we're at a remarkable disadvantage no matter how you spin it.

Who knows. Anything could happen. I still think we lose, but not because of physicality or lack of effort by the players this time. I think attrition chips away our depth again like it has been and does us in in the second half.

Following week, Auburn at LSU- rinse and repeat.

I think LSU wins this game.

But I think it's the last win of the season.

I think all of the players realize this as well

I know a lot of the rant wants us to suck so we can get rid of alleva and O but they will show up on Saturday for at least 3 quarters.. lol

I think we will play better than we have but not good enough to win (which is sad)

Vegas set the initial line based off of their projection of the outcome of the game. It isn't all about the betting action.

Also, getting the two DT's back should be pretty huge, at least for the defense keeping us in the game.

Not saying I'm particularly optimistic or excited though.

Both teams are sorry.

Half of Florida is suspended.
LSU lost to a sunbelt team.

Why would anyone try and bet on this game?

You are so dumb. Vegas is ALL ABOUT THE ACTION. Nothing else matters.

False. Sometimes you will see 80% of money on one team or another and the line doesn't move.
