Betting LSU Over 9.5

[HuskerinBig10]

I bet 135 I win 100.

What do you think?

 

[HuskerOC]

They should be good.

Really good. 19 starters returning and the best player in the country running the football for them.

Problem? QB. As always. If they can even get half-assed play from their QB, they are not only SEC contenders, but national title contenders.

Schedule is normal and rugged as you'd expect in the SEC, but they get Bama at home.

They'll have one of the best OLs and DLs in the entire country.

Over looks like a very solid play.

but they get Bama at home.

This is probably good news for Alabama.

LSU has 25 wins lifetime vs Alabama. Only 9 of them were @ LSU.

9 wins for them since 2000, but only 4 of them were @ LSU.

It's better to be the away team in general for this game for some reason.

Maybe.

But I got a feeling that 5 in a row comes to a halt in crazytown the night of November 5th.

Beats me, but it seems like the same narrative from LSU that we've heard for the past 5 years.

QB play is always supposedly better, but never is. And they'll be playing against the best secondary Alabama has had since probably 2011, if not even better.

The only concerns for Alabama right now is the O-Line and QB. Some might say RB as well, but I think RB will be fine. And it's easily the most talented group of QB's for Alabama since Saban has been there.

You're right.

What was I thinking. Nobody can beat Alabama.

It'll eventually happen, and the people who predict Alabama to lose every single year to teams like LSU will forever talk about how they saw it coming, and not the minimum 5 years before it.

Tennessee and LSU to beat us every single year it seems like.

Alabama couldn't handle Gus Malzhan either it was claimed, it was done.

Texas A&M was going to dominate us because Alabama couldn't deal with the HUNH.

Saban hates it in Tuscaloosa and is gone.

etc

It's the same shit every year. Eventually it will come true but when it will happen nobody knows. I don't think there has ever been a time in college football where one team had so much talent on it. There is no team in the country that will field a team as talented as Alabama this coming fall. Probably the closest is Ohio St, but this year will be the year that says if they have to rebuild or reload.

I have no idea how much heart and dedication the team will have. 2009 team went undefeated, 2010 team was more talented but lost 3 games. But no doubt if you think other teams are going to win based on talent, you aren't paying attention.

 

[HuskerinBig10]

I only see LSU losing to Alabama, but I have that extra cushion loss, so LSU only needs to go 10-2. Still, 10 is a lot of wins.

Lots of returning starters. Several juniors stayed in school to win.

New DC is Aranda from Wisconsin. A good one. I think Big Ten defensive mind will beat SEC speed.

Wow. Really?

Calm the fuck down Junior.

Maybe we all need to dial up Hugh Freeze and Ole Miss?

Alabama is pretty damn good. Unbeatable? Far from it, even as much as you hope or think they will be. Most talented team ever? You might want to look at some Miami, USC, and Florida State teams from days gone by.

In your next post, can you post a pic of the the signed Saban picture you got after finishing first in this year's Running of the Gumps?

I think Big Ten defensive mind will beat SEC speed.

I was agreeing with you until this and I am an Aranda fan.

Now a Big Ten defensive mind with SEC speed on defense may well be able to beat SEC speed. But not without it.

You caught on to my troll bait. If one of the SEC people said something, I was going to say, "Aren't the players on LSU defense SEC speed?"

Not to mention, 9 of them are returning starters which makes them SEC speed. Kendall beckwith is a force. Starting D Line is back, and starting D backs are back.

As stated, the weakness is Brandon Harris.

I have not made this bet yet, i was just asking opinions and I wanted them from fans more in the know than me.

 

[OregonDucks]

Easy money at 9.5. Think of it this way, if you don't get your money, Les Miles doesn't get a job next year.

Frickin Vegas knows what they are doing for damn sure. I know, that's a duh!

Personally, I've been let down by Les before so I'm a little gun shy betting on them. But, that much talent can often overcome coaching snafus!

I think the Wisky and Ole Miss games are most likely the stumbling blocks. They play Florida and Arky on the road but I just don't see either one of them scoring enough on LSU.

I think LSU beats Wisconsin.

Wisconsin lost Aranda to LSU and Wisconsin lost QB Joel Stave. I bet Aranda knows all the weaknesses of Wisconsin.

Please list the other teams that brought in #1 recruiting classes for more than 5 years in a row, or won more than 4 national championships in a 7 year period.

Yea, I'm done buying into LSU beating Bama till I see it happen. Miles will never beat Saban again.

Technically last year was a crap year and LSU still SHOULD have had 10 wins if they played the opening game. 10 should be manageable, wouldn't be a bad bet since Miles is consistently around that 9-11 win region

Crazy shit can happen like did for us against Ole Miss last year, and it probably wouldn't take near as much crazy shit to lose against LSU.

But I don't buy the preseason hype about QB's. I don't give a fuck how well they did at Manning, I don't give a crap how good their paid summer QB coach say's they are, etc. Harris may be awesome this year, but he was supposed to be awesome last year, and then there is the whole Jeremy Johnson deal at Auburn last year.

We'll see.
