I'd imagine most everybody has been putting their money on LSU to win. So try to even it out, they now make Texas the favorite?

Lsu has the secondary to shut them down, if they can keep their stud QB bottled up.

You have a bit of fundamental misunderstanding of how odds work. Let’s say LSU is the favorite by 10 (making that up of course) and lots of folks choose Texas to cover. By moving the line to Texas being the favorite, now you’ll get more folks taking LSU to cover or win.

Or some version of this. Vegas odds are not always meant to be what the oddsmakers actually believe will happen. It’s to balance out their portfolio if they have too much riding on any given outcome.

Link? Road teams in a top 10 matchup like this rarely receive most of the betting. Very rarely.

Massive game for the Conference.

Even people who hate us should root for us to win this one.

I get that. I think that LSU is solidly a touchdown favorite. It just seems like a really big movement in the last month to try to generate bets.

Good Lord. This guy is such a douche.

But Ehlinger has showed his douchiness also, so it must have something to do with being on that campus.

See my previous post. Game is in Texas, that’s a large factor in these type games of course. I’d be shocked if most of the money thus far was placed on LSU winning

Then Texas isn't favored. I can't find a solid line on a 9/7 game

You can’t be “BIG BAD TEXAS” and pretend to be an underdog

I can’t stand a team that plays underdog. No spine. No chest. I respect LSU, they think they should be the SEC big dogs every year and beat Bama every year and are mad when it doesn’t happen

Rant over
