re: So Vegas has A&M favored to win Over LSU.

Vegas opening lines (and closing lines for that matter) aren't about accurately picking the outcome/score of the game.

The lines are about predicting where the money will be bet by the participating gamblers. You really shouldn't take much more from vegas spreads than that.

What was the line for us against Miss St? 21 points right before the game started? Not rational, imo, but that's where the money was landing.

Bad take. I don’t think anyone can take you seriously

He’s obviously not taking the loss well

I understand it. We've burned them in the past. Just keep winning and they'll take care of themselves.

Weaknesses:
Our weakness on defense is 1 on 1 plays vs our safeties over the middle. Like they are straight dookie water in coverage. Major Burns is great in run defense and blitzing the QB, but is arse water in coverage, although he's gotten better over the year. Sage Ryan is better than Burns in coverage, but not by much. Ryan is also probably the worst tackler on the team in run support, 90% of the time he misses an arm tackle and the other 10% of the time he launches himself and literally executes the offensive player. Yall know Jardin Gilbert, he's been from bad to serviceable all year.

Early on misdirection in the run game was an issue for our gap integrity, but that hasn't been a problem for several weeks.

Stengths:
Zy Alexander is one of the best cornerbacks in the country on one side, he was rated #1 through 6 weeks by PFF. Ashton Stamps is the other corner, he's a serviceable SEC corner.

Whit Weeks is very likely the best LB in the SEC and one of the best in the country, he's a game wrecker with a knack for the ball. Even in coverage he's had multiple PBUs and dropped INTs. Gregg Penn is a good SEC LB that is great at tackling and run stuffing.

On one side of the Dline Brayden Swinson is a top 3 best defensive end in the country at sacking the quarterback. He was leading power 4 player in sacks entering the Arkansas game, he didnt register a sacks on Taylon Green, but hit him several times and allowed other players to reach him through his disruptiveness. On the other side you have Savion Jones, he's not as good as Swinson, but is still a top 25 defensive end in college football.

Our DTs are all serviceable, technically sound guys that are plenty capable of collapsing the pocket and sacking the quarterback or stopping the run.

How to beat LSUs defense? Quick, 10-15 yard slants in the middle of the field. Your quarterback will not have many pockets that offer more than 3 seconds of time and our corners are good enough to cover for that amount of time. Quick throws over the middle attacking our safeties is what has worked for everyone.

But our defense has gotten significantly better each week. This is an entirely new defensive staff and group of players. They are moving up the defensive efficiency rankings by 5-10 spots per week, we are now sitting around 35th in the country, we started around 100th. Also, we are only allowing 5 points per game in the second half of the last 5 games, starting at South Carolina.

LOL.

NUSS Iis on fire right now. And if he’s able to exploit our DBs (biggest weakness) it will be tough. LSU also has found a nice RB too.

I feel like the Ags Can move the ball on the LSU defense.

All that just to say this will be an extremely close game IMO.

I think LSU wins. Possibly handily

LSU had double digit penalties last night. Most presnap from the crowd noise.

If you were there, you would know it had nothing to do with the noise, because it wasn’t loud. They have to pipe in sound through the speakers to make it any threat. Couple of times it would get instantly quieter, because they are piping in sound through the speakers

Because beating Arkansas was an improvement? Doesn't matter. You will lose to A&M and Bama. Probably drop one to Florida or OU.

Why even engage him. He’s still pissed that his team got blown out yesterday.
