Found a link where a&m would be a 1.5 point favorite on neutral field per these power ratimgs.

Aggy rated at 85
LSU 83.5

This game is going to be close, I can't wrap my mind around the LSU fans thinking we just roll on Florida. Laughable. Will be fortunate to get out of the Swamp with a W.

Florida showed signs of life with their win on the road @ Miss State
i'm not seeing it. in the uk and state games, franks wasn't asked to do much. when he did throw beyond 5 yards, he was sometimes accurate and sometimes not. state and uk both dropped multiple gift wrapped int's. even in the tenn game he was only 9-18.

uk and state were both sloppy yet uk still won and state dropped a td pass a few steps from the goal line. fla's run game is inconsistent at best. both lines are inconsistent and the defense was pretty much terrible at wrapping up.

lsu has flaws to be sure but, i don't think they're nearly as egregious and they've come against better competition overall. lsu's d line is at least as good as state's. lsu's dbacks are absolutely the best they've seen this season. auburn's d is at least as good as fla's. ole miss' passing game is absolutely better than fla. heck, la tech may have a passing game as good as fla. i don't think fla will have a great deal of success running.

having said that, lsu is due for a clunker and i have no doubt that mullen will get fla emotionally charged for their best test to date. i think they give their best effort of the season

Is an aTm fan seriously posting this in a thread about LSU?

That's good stuff.

They're not going to score a lot of points, and Florida's defense is also stout.


Tiger Rant has assured me that our defense is one of the worst in conference and they have 3 RBs the equal or better than Snell, so they will rush for 300+ on us. Don't be fooled by their mediocre 6th rank in conference rushing yards or measley 4.44 ypc (10th in conference). They have a nigh unbeatable rushing attack.

Yeah, and Southern Miss took us to the end of the 4th quarter so you may want to use a different barometer.



Not like you've never had a down game to an inferior opponent.

I could also use the Washington game as a barometer.

So if the #5 team is a tiny favorite over an unranked team then common sense would say you load up on the #5 team and make lots of money.

However, we all know LSU isn't actually the 5th best team this year.




You mad bro?

Why would you go on Tigerdroppings (in the first place)and then be surprised and offended when optomistic Tiger fans says homerish things about their team? I've
glanced over at swamp gas and Florida 24/7 this week and was neither surprised or offended at reading your fans and the reason they think they have an advantage in this game.

It's not so much an unbeatable rushing attack as it is a very beatable rushing defense.

Florida's rush D is looking up at mediocre right now.

Because LSUs homer fans know that LSU is not as good as they claim . I thought the opening line was a little higher .

Why?

Explain.

We have a better team and more talent than Florida.

We have a better staff than Florida sans the cajun captain.

We roll.

We almost always have more talent on the roster than our opponents yet fail to impose our will or games are closer than they should be. We didn't look great against SELA this year, we can all agree on that. Also these gems:

2017 LSU vs Syracuse W 35-26

2017 LSU vs Florida W 17-16

2017 LSU vs Troy L 24-21

2016 LSU VS Florida L 16-14
