Is LSU the first top 3 team in CFB to be a dog to a team starting a back-up QB?

Maybe one of you statheads know a good reference for this. Having a hard time figuring out how the #3 team is considered an underdog by Vegas when Ole Miss is starting a back-up QB and 70+% of the money is on LSU?

I bet LSU was the dog in the BCS title game against bama and you may as well consider any of their QBs a backup for that game

They think LSU can’t score and most here would agree .

We always have a good chance for a pick 6 with this defense.

I've literally watched LSU look like they genuinely didnt want their offense to pick up a first down. Think it was the Florida game. They know Kelly is playing with fire relying so heavily on Defense.

Calm before the storm.

Nuss will win the 3rd Heisman for an LSU QB in 6 years

Vegas doesn't usually lose money. I think it's very interesting. What do you think?

Vegas clearly wants a LOT of money to come in on LSU. Going to be an absolute bloodbath for betters or Vegas - that's for sure.

No because they’re ranked 4th.

I love LSU and I’ve seen nothing this year that makes me think we score more than 20. First to 30 wins.

We need to come out slinging slant plays, quickly and a lot of them. Then go deep. Throw it 70 times with an occasional draw or toss dive!

How is Notre Dame only favored by -4.5 over Arkansas? What is going on?

Always play the lines I was taught and never do parleys..If a line moves more then 2.5 points, bet against it..Vegas knows something.

70% of the money is not on LSU. Book makers would go broke doing business like that. They set the spread to even out the money. And they skate with the juice.
