You can read that line so easy. They are BEGGING you to take Arkansas and the points. Because to a blind better the #1 vs #3 this game should be closer than 14 points.
When in reality, the line is saying its going to be a blowout. Which is probably right.

the line is 14 points because all you LSU fans are driving the spread. I believe that something your fanbase would do because you want everyone to think that your team is 14 points better. If you truly believe that bet your house.

If you want to get technical about it, Iowa State is a better team than Vandy and especially Ole Miss this year.
They both played UConn and won by pretty much the exact same score. Iowa State got blown out by Texas, Baylor, Missouri, and A&M. Vandy's been blown out by USCe and Bama. Their other losses are by an average of 5 points.
Iowa State's resume looks better because they beat OSU. No argument. But they're a very comparable team to Vandy. And I'd argue that Vandy's a lot more competitive week in and week out.

Also, I think USC would give Arkansas a run for their money, but hey, who am I to dispute the awesome, prolific power of the 'ship?
Of course you'd think that. You're incapable of giving anyone in the SEC credit. It's the LSU way. But if Arizona State (losses to Illinois, UCLA, Washington St, Arizona) can beat USC, so can Arkansas.
You can say all you want about certain teams being capable of beating Arkansas. Fine. But they haven't. Only 1 team has. Arkansas and Alabama are the only 2 schools that don't have embarrassing losses out of the 1-loss pool.

There is no doubt that the games have been excellent for nearly a decade.

In recent years, it has definitely been a great game. I'm always excited for it.

I think it will be the same offense that has scored 40+ 7 times this year

Are you suggesting that LSU fans are intentionally making a bad bet and that there are enough of us to move a Vegas line just to make us look good before the game.

I just want to chime in on the 14 spread. Keep in mind I started this thread as a compliment to the baddassery that is this series. This wasn't supposed to be a flame thrower.
I wager every week. I only wager the moneyline because you only have to pick the winner. I was burned waaaaaaaaay too many times trying to beat a spread. So I go the "safe route" and bet the moneylines on teams that are favored by 14 or more each week. I bundle them up into a parlay. There are typically 6 to 15 teams that are 14 pt favorites and I pick a few that I feel are the safest.
I can not even begin to tell you how many teams a week or season do not win games that are 14, 15, 16, 17 pt favorites. Happens every fricking week. Every week!
Point being, 14pt favorites should win, but they damn sure dont on a far more frequent basis than some here believe.
