never bet on or against lsu. trends are that when lsu is favored, they rarely cover. when they are dogs, they usually cover if its more than a few points. At +3 1/2, and needing to prove something to the national fb community (all the pretender talk by the pundits), I believe they will cover today. the 1/2 point has caught many a bettor this season, particularly in lsu games. I would stand that the extra 1/2 pt may play in today's game. Most people are predicting a 3 point game. Its probably a pick'em.
