Westgate Super Book has Bama as a 24 point favorite.

How do you bet if you have to put the money down this morning?

I probably bet LSU to cover in something like a 31-17 type game.

24 I'd say LSU

I think it'll be something like 27-10

24 is a lot but I think our defense will be on the field all game and wear down. I would not confidently bet on LSU to cover.

31-3 or something along those lines. I'd take Bama to cover.

17.5 or lower and I put it on Bama. Anything over and I'd probably not bet that game, but I just posed the question to start dialogue. That line is way high. I should've checked before the AU win to see what it was.

Yea - I could see us wearing LSU down and blowing it out in the 4th. I could also see Aranda come up with a good scheme, make a few big plays and keep it within striking distance for 3 and us pull out to 14-17 in the 4th.

I wouldn't be confident either way at 24. I wouldn't be confident to bet on LSU with it either, though, considering the game is in Tuscaloosa and the way we wear people down late.

If I were a betting man, I would toss 100 on LSU to cover that.

That’s a smart spread for Vegas, just enough people with no idea if the Troy LSU team will show up, or the AU LSU team will. Can I just bet on LSU to lose and leave the spread alone?

Bama point spreads in SEC games this year have been crazy. If I recall correctly they covered big time against Vanderbilt and Ole Miss, failed to cover against A&M, and barely covered against Arkansas.

They also covered against FSU but failed to cover Fresno St and Colorado state.

If I had to bet I would bet LSU +24. This game always seems to be played a little more conservatively and LSU's defense looks competent enough to give Alabama issues. To cover 24 I think Alabama would have to come close to a shut out and that's always hard to count on even if Alabama has shut out LSU twice in the last 6 meetings.

Yes but it'll be a really shitty payout.

No, the same wasn't said about the barn. There's also a difference between a Malzahn team going into a stadium that they haven't won a game in this century, and a Saban coached team welcoming LSU to Tuscaloosa, a place they've gotten their arse handed to them with better teams in the last 2 trips to the tune of a 17.5 ppg margin of defeat

That said, 24 seems steep. Too rich for my blood

That's what I am hoping for as I made my bet today taking 24.
