That’s a great math word problem. How many points are LSU and Alabama expected to score. 1. Let x = LSU’s score 2. Let x + 29 1/2 = Bama’s score 3. Therefore x + x + 29 1/2 = 66 1/2 4. 2x + 29 1/2 = 66 1/2 5. 2x = 37 6. x = 18 1/2 = LSU’s projected score 7. x + 29 1/2 = 18 1/2 + 29 1/2 = 48 = Alabama’s protected score Alabama 48 LSU 18 1/2 Wasn’t that fun!
The odds that we score 18 or 19 points are somewhere between extremely slim & none. I'll take the none.
