Clearly LSU has no chance on Saturday. I only hope we can keep it close.

It's obvious, Texas A&M can't be beat

Except by Clemson, Bama, State, Auburn and all four of those teams are much better than LSU is.

Vegas has been wrong about LSU all year long. You guys are in for an arse kicking in your home stadium. It’ll be eight in a row. I’m not worried. You guys couldn’t even beat Auburn after they fell apart. Talk about pathetic...

He has improved, I just said that because the consensus here is that he sucks.

I can’t recall a high major top ten team was ever an underdog to an unranked program? Why does LSU get no respect?

Avoiding the troll aspects of the post, this IS weird. I don't think I've seen this before, but it's probably happened in other conferences.

I'm guessing all of the following:
the Jimbo vs Orgeron angle
home/road performances by both teams

Is it because Burrow sucks arse?

statistically, this probably factors in. The issue is that Burrow's stats are misleading- a good % of incompletions are WR drops of passes on the money, and if he gets time he actually looks quite good.

Burrow won't lose the game for LSU, it comes down to the WRs catching passes. If we don't suck catching, LSU wins this fairly comfortably

Mississippi State 12.8 p/game
Alabama 13.1 p/game
LSU 16.1 p/game


And in the metric that you like. S&P+
Both MSU and Alabama did better
Two defenses in you own division..

Again LSU's defense isn't elite.

So you’re saying your defense is worse than Marshall, Nothern Illinois, & Fresno State? Yikes.

They’re happy about it because they aspire to be a mid-major. Every season they talk about leaving the SEC.

No clue, but LSU is going to get their shite pushed in on Saturday night.

The Rant will be in an Apocalyptic meltdown.

11th in the country in adjusted defense and 8th in scoring D is absolutely elite, dont kid yourself. Nobody is saying Bama's and MSU's isnt also elite, they're all elite defenses. You have to be some sort of dumb to suggest the #8 scoring D in the country isn't "elite" because there are 2 ever so slightly better defenses "in their own division". There's 130 teams in D1 CFB, that's in the 94th percentile.

LSU has one of the longest streaks in the country for allowing less than 30 points in a game going. 21 straight.

Have they? I recall LSU is 5-6 ATS this year. But surely you weren't just pulling opinions out of your arse?
