re: Which SEC team do you like over/under W-L total (gamblers)

That’s honestly a convincing argument for your position so I’ll give an exalt.

I tend to think Herman uses last season’s opener as motivation and has TX very prepared. LSU’s offense is not bad but far from great. The defense will need to live up to elite hype to win by two TDS I think.

I think Texas will come out ready, but I think LSU is going to be just too good. I do think the defense will live up to the elite hype- look at the Alabama game, there wasn't much difference with Queen instead of White at MLB. I think Fulton will be a shutdown corner this year, and Delpit will be All American at safety. The biggest thing should be the return of Chaisson, he elevates the pass rush to a level you didn't see without him last year.

Offensively, Burrow should be more decisive, and I think we have more HR potential at RB than last year. LSU wears teams (other than Bama) down, I think they wear Texas down too.

And like I said, you play for a bigger lead on the road, you put teams away. LSU can use both A&M and Fla as examples of being up late, and letting the home team rally with the crowd. So there will likely be emphasis to get some distance, instead of just milking the clock late.
