    I think we'll win by double digits. Not due to any offensive attack, but because we'll cause 4 turnovers.

    What's maybe worse is LSU winning but not covering. Then you're not happy with a W since you lost some dough.

    Bet with your head, not with your heart. That's why I avoid betting on LSU either way. I might take the points if they are a home dog.

    Means you have to bet $270 to win $100

    That's fucked up. I haven't bet with a bookie on a long time but when I did I got paid $100 when I won and I paid him $110 when I lost.

    The books aren't dumb. If the line were to move to say LSU -14 you would see the price drop to something more affordable. Likewise, if you want to play Auburn you only risk $100 to win $175 I think it was.

    This tells me the house expects LSU to cover the 7, and they are going to make you pony up if you want to ride. No free money in vegas
