Anyone else think LSU -4.5 vs Wisconsin is extremely low?

What gives?

Wisconsin literally lost their entire front 7 on defense from last year, and they just named a starting quarterback who hasn't taken a snap as a D1 quarterback - and spent the majority of last season as a backup defensive back.

To bet the house on LSU to cover, or no?

Good thing they run the ball more than Auburn.

Lot of unknowns for LSU. I think LSU will win outright, but -4.5 seems fair.

COuld LSU win by 20, sure, but I think it wil be close.

Not quite, but they do run the ball a lot. I suppose that will help them a little on offense - but what the heck is their defense going to do?

Wisky doesn't really get blown out much. They have probably the best RB in the country and a very good offensive line. I think 4.5 is a good line. They will get their yards and points on the ground against anyone.

I think they won't throw the ball much at all and will still keep it close with a rushing attack that eats up clock.

They did lose their front 7, but their backups played as much as the starters last year. They have a lot of experience coming back.

Not a lot of depth though, and our OL is really good too. I think our talented depth wins out in the end and their inability to do anything in the air is what prevents them from mounting any sort of comeback.

LSU lost like 90% of its offensive productivity from last season

I wouldn't bet the house on LSU, but I wouldn't be shocked if they won by more than 5. (I know that doesn't help)

LSU should have a big-time O-Line, but they are replacing a 3,000 yard passer, Two 1,000 yard WRs, and a 1,500 yard RB. That's a ton of production gone. Too many question marks on both sides of the ball for me to bet the house right now.

I dropped $100 on LSU and the over for Arky/AU (57.5).

Not a very good week for betting, but trying to get my pot up. I always cap myself at $300 each season. :lowroller:

No. I think LSU could very easily lose this game. Wisky is no joke

What is the total on the game. Lsu with their new QB will probably play it conservative as well. Seems like a good under if the total is 45 or less.

I am not confident that LSU wins this game honestly.

New QB, new RB, new WRs...this is a year to start with Sam Houston St, not Wisky.

LSU will get destroyed...too much talent left for the draft.

LSU breaks off a fat one in their Wisky hole.

Wisky has new QB and WRs and none of whom are as talented as LSU's.

We both have great RBs and great OL.

I think that experienced offensive line will make up for the lack of returning production on offense.

I think a returning, talented offensive line can make up for youth at skill positions. It will also surely make the QB look better.

We'll see. I just can't imagine LSU not pulling away at some point.
