Maybe some of you A&M fans could help answer this for me,
Why was (undefeated) #6 Texas A&M an 18 point underdog to Alabama... while (two loss) #15 LSU is only a 7 point underdog to Alabama?
*I say #15 because that is what LSU was ranked when the line came out*
I understand that homefield advantage affects the spread, usually homefield accounts for 4 or 5 points.
So that would mean, if LSU were playing in Tuscaloosa, they would be about an 11 point dog.. which is still 7 points less than what A&M was. Why?
TIA

Actually if homefield accounts for 4 or 5 points then LSU would be about an 11 point dog on a neutral field and about a 15 point dog in Tuscaloosa.

because A&M got annihilated the last few years by bama, and has a subpar defense

Home field, LSU defense.

Let's see what happens in the actual game before you spout your mouth off. Also, why don't you use a data point that has already happened? Like, say, maybe our common game @Auburn?
