💰 SPRTSBK When charting games people often look at P. Steele's experience quotients between the two teams. Here's how that's worked out against the spread

We weren't completely wrong about LSU. School is still out on them.

I agree. I had a hard time seeing them get to four conference wins. At 2-1, they're a little better off than I expected and that's largely due to Auburn being worse than I suspected they'd be. We're still looking at a 3-3 team after Bama and it can still easily hit a 3-5 mark. Rice will give them their sixth win--going over the 7.5 is still in question.

Only 2 loses for lsu....UGA and Bama at home....
Have UGA afternoon....Bama at nite....
8-9 win team

Only 2 loses for lsu.

*Sagarin
If the games were played today we'd see A&M giving LSU 2. On a neutral field it's a P. MSU would be a P as well on a neutral field but that game is in Baton Rouge (LSU -2.)

*S&P+
Again, if they games were played today we'd see...
LSU at AM -2.5
MSU -1 at LSU. (that may even boil down to MSU -1.5)

Those projections are with UGA and Bama left on their schedule (before MSU only UGA.)

*ESPN's FPI, which ranks alongside Vegas' bookmakers for accuracy, has LSU splitting the two (52% change to win at home against MSU.)

Which brings me back to what was posted earlier in this thread:

...about LSU. School is still out on them.

LSU is going to match up with anyone. Anyone that has this team on the away list had better button down the hatch. Are you listening Kirby?

 

[Elderfalsedemigod]

UF was able to run on LSU much better than I thought they would. I look for Mond and Williams to give them problems. Conversely I see Fitzgerald giving them problems also. Also Burrow was getting rocked off the edge. LSU oline has as many issues as awbarn oline, IMO

@50+yeartidefan, I know I've mentioned--and linked here in the past--the accuracy of both Vegas odds and the FPI. As stated both are in the top five (Vegas getting three of the top five with spread, total, and outright.) So, we're talking about these two groups having four of the best five game predictors.

I caught this on FPI and as you can see they're projecting three more losses with basically a toss-up with MSU. And, to be honest, I'm thinking the Arkansas game is too high in favor of LSU.
