Yeah I find it so entertaining when some people/fans melt or get triggered over mere stats…The stats simply are what they are lol, whether one likes them or not.

It’s one thing to discuss what stats are relevant or not or more important than other stats or context on SOS/etc….totally fine and normal discussion…but some people get really triggered/angry/envious… it’s fun and entertaining to watch people dance around and paint their own picture of what the stats say or don’t say as it relates to their own team or teams they don’t like

I think I saw yesterday the early spread was LSU -4 but that was just an “early line”



But yeah wouldn’t surprise me to see lsu in the 4-6ish range

6ish range
the absolute highest this line can get is 4.5. And even that's pushing it.

Yeah that’s what it was yesterday early lines, and I agree with you

quote:

For the 2026 matchup between the LSU Tigers, the early opening betting lines list LSU as a 4-point favorite (consensus around -3.5). Early Betting Odds Summary Betting Market Early Opening Line / Consensus Spread LSU -4 (Consensus: LSU -3.5 / Alabama +3.5) Total (Over/Under) 54.5 points Moneyline LSU -185 / Alabama +154 (Open: LSU -180 / Alabama +150)


If it’s much more than 4, all the money would flow to Bama. So obviously like you said it won’t move beyond 4-ish. 3 sounds about right for equal money on both sides

I didn’t watch State-OU yesterday, did they say how long MissSt qb may be out? Just curious . Do you know what the actual injury is?

The problem with stats is while they are nice to have in your favor, they don’t always win you the game.

If the Tigers lose a close one to Bama blow out everyone else on the schedule, they will almost certainly be 1st in both offense and defense and be on the outside looking in.

I think LSU has the best players in the SEC.
Whether or not they have the best team by the end of the season remains to be seen.

Of course I want lsu to do well and win every game, that’s my team/school. LSU has flaws just like every team, so who knows how it’ll all play out….
…But damn CFB in general and the SEC has been fun/entertaining this year regardless how my Tigers finish the season.

Such an awesome year so far IMO. I’m still high - not because LsU won the last 2 weeks - but because all of these games across the nation have been so fun to watch

Bama- LSU going to be a top 10 matchup by game time. Just like the good Lord intended.

Total offense and total defense mean nothing. If you drive up and down the field, but get no points, your total offense will be high, but what does that matter? The idea is to score points. The telling statistic is "Scoring Offense and Scoring defense." Here are those stats.

Scoring defense

Scoring Offense

He aggravated the same foot injury, might be out for a while at this point but I doubt anyone really knows

They are generally correlated, but my statement still stands vs total and scoring o & d
