    Betting 101. The two lines aren't related. The bookmakers try to create pointspreads that will cause gamblers to wager equally on both sides. LSU opened at -22.5, and amazingly, the early money has been bet on LSU, so the line moved to 23. People are getting fat on LSU this year, except for the Kentucky game, when that Kentucky TD allowed them to cover the 30 point spread.

    So one of their starting guards is out for the year now.

    And their 2 best receivers might not see the field.

    And a new starting QB with basically no experience.

    The line looks about right now that I think about it.

    Mr. Dyer is going to see a ton of 8 and 9 in the box Saturday.

    Lets hope so. Honestly we did not put 8-9 in the box often enough in the TN game.

    Simms was no threat. Poole had a huge game for them.

    Do you guys listen to the radio, because Poole had such a huge game, our run defense has been exposed and the world is coming to an end. :dis:

    Okay, a little over 100 yards rushing is a good, solid game for a back. However, how does anyone have a "huge" game and only score 7 points? ...especially when the other team scores 38?

    Just a little perspective...

    We may roll Auburn by the largest margin ever in the series, but I still will not touch a 22 point spread.

    LSU 45

    *Them 0

    *The nameless and shameless and arrogant Cheating Bassturds who bought Cam Newton for 200K+ (250K = the unofficial word) but who lawyered up and beat the NCAA rap but who are squarely in NCAA crosshairs for the next decade but will get caught sooner or later ... and whose team we hope receives a DEATH PENALTY ASAP

    Take LSU and give the points again ... a truly winning formula in 2011!
