    Lock of the week: Georgia -3, grab it early while u still can

    BULLDOGS easy win at home and likely blow out if Mattenberg plays like he used to on the road last year.
    The line is this low only because Georgia had a bad game last week against north Texas while lsu been beating up nobodies for 4 weeks now.
    Dont let Georgia's last week score fool u, their defense is actually playing better while offense remains its old self, and don't u think their team and coaches held back against north Texas in preparation of this weeks big showdown at home?
    For lsu, they r getting too much credit beating up the little guys. While their last weeks game against auburn is not as close as the final score indicates, their defense was exposed by auburn through the air 2nd half as Marshall put up some career numbers against them on the rd. The Lsu defense is a considerable drop off from last year after losing so many nfl talents. Also this is the first true rd game for lsu this year, Mattenberg has not played a very good game on the rd ever, and I don't believe this will be the week. His completion percentage is lower than 60% while playing against a very soft schedule.
    worst case scenario for georgia, this turns to a shoot out at home and they win by at least a touch down.
    This line won't remain at 3 for too long, grab it early while u can!

    Hope your right and Dawgs win easily. Also hope you are just playing and really know that LSU's qb is "Mettenberger" otherwise can't take you serious if you don't even know his name. Good luck to you though.

    Watch almost the entire Georgia north Texas game and most 2nd half of lsu game, it made me feel much better picking geogia. lsu defense is just not what it used to be and just maybe, bulldogs defense will get to Mettenberg and this guys completion percentage is just not that good

    im bias in this game so I wont argue who wins the game but you are wrong if you think Georgia will be giving much more than three points by gametime.....in fact sportsbook.com has this game at 2.5 right now

    LSU wins outright easily. It's not as much mettenburger has gotten better than the system LSU runs on offense has changed. LSU has the talent on O last year just not the coaching.

    At first sight you don't realize that the talent on LSUs offense is far superior than that of Georgia. Example * 2 WRs ARE NOMINATED FOR THE TOP WR in the country award* add Jeremy hill and JC copeland... This team will score alot.


    As far as defense. In the words of LSUs D coordinator " tradition doesn't graduate"

    What the hell are you talking about? LSU already beat TCU and Auburn.

    Irrelevant just like both will be bowl teams is irrelevant. The bottom line is watching how the teams preform. LSU is totally different on offense now under Cam Cameron, and the nation will get a good site of just how amazing of a job Cam does with quarterbacks. The better team no questions is LSU, if they don't shoot themselves in the foot they'll win

    Yes, I know. Lsu passing is looking so much better than they were last year. But their defense has dropped off considerably ( a good performance on both sides against weak teams like tcu and auburn doesn't mean that much). And we don't know how mettenberg will perform on the road, he has never had a real good road game, and the season opener doesn't count as a true rd game in Dallas.

    Don't worry about LSUs defense.

    LSUs defensive personel has completely changed every 2 years since his arrival. It's part of big time football. The names change every year but the defense stays dominant. I don't even know who will be on the team in 10 years, but I can tell you if John Chavis is the coach LSU will have a top defense.

    IMO. Auburn was pretty one dimensional and they carved up LSU the entire 2nd half. LSU's D lost a lot in the draft, although their offense is better than last year.

    Homer Alert, Homer Alert!!! Wildcorndog's input regarding LSU should be readily dismissed due to his Homer ties. In fact LSU is probably the only team in all of college football for which Wildcorndog can actually name a player. His input in general is a waste of font. His winning percentage is somewhere just north of 20. His weekly selections have earned Auto-Fade gold status, per the National Handicapping Association. His only internet connection is the downtown Job Center. I hear he's sleeping in an abandoned car and foraging through dumpsters behind Red Robin. This has been a Homer Alert. Proceed with caution.

    Not sure how you believe that Mettenberger sucks on the road? His completion rate is not below 60% . It is 64.8%.

    LSU D a considerable drop off from last year? Please, these guys just reload.

    Why do I like LSU?

    Les Miles is money in Sept.

    Mettenberger sharp, 10 td's only I pick. Beckham & Landry could be playing on Sundays and have the 10 Mettenberger Td passes between them.

    LSU RB Jeremey Hill is beast and crashed through the Auburn D like wet paper for 184 yards on the ground. Will he do that against Dogs, doubt it. LSU's offense is improving , has weapons and they protect the rock.

    LSU defense is always good. Both teams lost stars to NFL. 2H lack of focus last wk against Auburn air attack will have LSU D coaches cracking the whip, this wk in practice.

    Mettenberger has history with Georgia and Murray. Respect for Murray with 1082 yards via the air and 72% completion rate. But, the LSU is defense is stronger in my opinion. Georgia has had the tougher schedule and we'll see which defense wins the battle come saturday. Both teams have plenty of firepower on O.

    Tigs are brutal at home, especially under the lights. First big road game is tough. Miles should have them ready. Come to think of it, they are 8-1 on the road straight up last two years. Richt always seems to choke more often than not against top teams. I'll take the points. Should be a good game. gl with your pick

    LSU +3 (2X)

    If you like LSU grab the +3 . If you like the Dogs, wait, I bet you get -2 1/2 , maybe -2 , by kick. Time will tell.

    Mettenbergs completion percentage is 64%, but only 50% against tcu, and then they played uab, kent state, and auburn while average 20 attempts on them. counting the tcu game, he has never had a good game on the rd. lsu will get some points with hill running the ball, but this lsu defense will be tear apart by Murray and gurley.

    Yes, Mettenberg will light up the scoreboard because he has great arms, except like half of his throws will prob go to his favorite target- the ground! I bet u Tim tebow can bench more and prob throw a football farther than Mettenberg! I know he has great arms and can deep throws, but his accuracy and his receivers r definitely questionable at times, and u must be an idiot if u don't think it matters for Mettenberg being rd, just go look at his numbers on rd or neutral site games. I wouldn't feel confident at all if the game is played at tiger stadium, but playing in Georgia is huge factor for both teams.

    Let's cut the B.S. that is really flying in here and get to the bottom line. First, anyone who thinks that the LSU's offense is "far superior to Georgia's" is out of his mind. Ofcourse just look who osted that and that is all you need to know. Another know-it-all who rarely wins. If Mettenberg were that good, he would still be at Georgia and Murray would be at LSU. While Georgia's defense may have immproved a bit, they are no match for LSU's defense, which is not was it used to be, but still much better than what Georgia has to offer. The bottom line is that LSU has improved overall and Georgia has not. Georgia can afford to lose a Conference game now that they have disposed of South Carolina and Florida has no QB. LSU still has Mississippi, Alabama, and A&M to play. This game means a lot more to LSU than it does to Georgia. I'll take LSU and the 3 points here.

    5.5 units on Georgia , have them -3 -105'at 5dimes now, this was also the first line I jumped on last Sunday, but the limit wasn't very high back then. Easy Georgia win , but that might be a back door cover on the lsu teaser.
