The Official UAB at LSU Thread [6pm ESPNU]

I got 6 of the prettiest bone in ribeyes about 2.5 inches thick just waiting for halftime enjoyment! Not to mention the 2 bottles of Pinot Noir I will have. Going to be a good Ol Saturday night!!GEAUX TIGERS

 

LSU beat Washington (Bowl team) 41-3. Their only points came off the opening kickoff when we fumbled it. LSU is definitely capable and this game should be out of reach early. UAB was 3-9 last year. They are terrible. Towson could probably beat UAB and Towson already took down UConn last week.

 

Since 1992 LSU is 12-9 ATS when favored by 31 or more.

 

For those wanting to see Hill return tomorrow night, you may get your wish:

Thanks. Know the stats in the Miles era?

Not off hand, I'd tend to think they aren't very good because as (maybe it was you) was mentioned before, LSU isn't great at covering big spreads. They win, just not by what the "experts" think.
