If X is the underdog's (A&M) score, then X + 15 is the favorite's (LSU) score. And thus X+X+ 15 = 60. Use your 7th grade algebra to solve for X.


Thank you!

Tamu =X
LSU=Y
Y= x + 15
X+Y=60
X+15 +x= 60
2x + 15 = 60
2x = 45
x = 22.5 TAMU
Y = x + 15 = 37.5 LSU
Confused? yeah me too!

They lost
@ Clemson by 14
Home to Auburn by 8
Home to Bama by 19
@Georgia by 6

Point spread sounds about right. Might go up a bit

Theyvsayvwe will win by 15, and the total score will be 60. What's the match to figure out what they are predicting the final score will be based off of that?

2x+15=60
2x=45
X=22.5
So TAMU with 22.5 and LSU with 37.5

I see 10 guys beat me to it.

Let x equal Aggie score
X plus 15 equals LSU score
X plus (x plus 15) equals 60

X equals 22.5

Final score LSU 37.5. Aggie 22.5

Math is hard, isn't it.

60/2 = 30
15/2 = 7.5
30 + 7.5 = 37.5 LSU
30 - 7.5 = 22.5 A&M

38-24 or 35-21 type game is what Vegas is predicting.

ETA: lol, I saw the water-head and just responded - didn't realize EVERYONE would tutor him.

A&M probably puts up at least 42 too.

38-23, since the O/U is 60.5.


How about 75-15 instead.

Too much. But take the over
Peej has spoken (albeit incoherently).

Translated as to what will actually happen-

LSU will not cover and take the Under.

Thanks Peej!

A&m defense is good. Best we've played all year other than Auburn.

Statistically, they will be the 4th best defense we've faced, behind UF, AU, and UA.

I stand corrected on uf. I do think they're better than bama for sure though. I don't think they'll slow us down much but they are better than the last few years on that side

Wow! So much math in this thread... But not one of you has accounted for relativistic effects.

Burrow will go the whole game, regardless of score. His numbers will be like 400+ yards, 4+ TDs, and at least 1 TD rushing.

The way Jimmy Ott explains point spreads is it’s not about what Vegas thinks a team will win buy.


You should use the word "by" in place of "buy"...unless you are referring to how Bama wins

77-0



Anything close to that would be fine as frog's hair, though.
