Just locked in LSU -6.5 vs. West Virginia!! I can't believe this line is this low!!

[g2wvu07]

I dont know if WVU can get a win. Hardly anyone goes in there at night and has their way. However, this will not be a blowout.

LSU -6.5 to -8.5 though I am getting anxious. If it goes to -.9.5 or higher, I am all over it.

[Rbyrne]

The line moved from -6.5 to -8.5 because everyone knows LSU wins by atleast 10 but i think it will be alot more than that

[Serbone]

Big East ??? team visits a premier SEC team, Saturday night national TV game.
Check to see temperature @ game time.
HUGE wagering issue if it is 90 degrees+.
If so, WV kids will suffer from electrolyte imbalance, slow down, cramp, fold up.
Could be 7-7 at half and LSU wins 37-16.
Gotta like LSU -8, especially if its HOT. Too early for me to be final.

[Serbone]

Pump this line up to 10 and I will put my house on the mountaineers .

I have an apartment you can rent. 1st floor, 2 bedrooms.

[WVUsuperfan]

you act like its not hot and humid in Morgantown in September?

wvusuperfan sounds like a homer to me!!!!! hahaha.....yall dont stand a chance kid

[WVUsuperfan]

well to say the heat is going to play a factor is just stupid.. considering its high 80s low 90s this week in Morgantown.. and how would you like to make a wager then?

[ZBOIZ]

Homer, LSU has the best NOTHONG in the nation. Peterson may go in the first round, but nowheres near #5 overall. Where do you dream this stuff up? They got ripped by a nothing QB from UNC. LSU is lucky to escape with a win.

are you serious ???

I take it you never seen this guy play.. because anyone with any type of knowledge to the college game will tell you he's a lock to go top 10 and might go #1 overall depending if the team drafting in that spot needs defense.

If West Virginia struggled at MARSHALL im sure it's possible we'll see a blowout come Saturday.

I'm thinking 31-7 Tigers

[Rbyrne]

Hell yeaaaa ZBOIZ!!!!!!!!!!!! i watched that entire wvu marshall game and wvu got lucky at the end.....they def did not deserve to win that game. LSU gonna crush them....just like everyone said take MISS State +7.5 last week and look what happpened....LSU wins 29-7 and covers that 7.5 by alot..........same result this week except LSU will score more points

[Holdin Aces]

Guys I went to school at Marshall and I am a life long WVU fan and I grabbed LSU at 6.5 huge the minute it came out. WVU will not be able to handle that defensive pressure and that crazy atmosphere, if they struggled at Marshall they will lose here by 14 plus and I am being kind by saying only 14. Remember that is my favorite team but sometimes you just have to call a spade a spade.

[JayTrotter]

Geno Smith is progressing very well. He makes great decisions for a young QB. I watched some of his games, and he is definitely a top QB. He is still very young.

Death Valley at night is a formidable task. Once again LSU's roster is filled with athletic talent. This is not the same as football talent. (Jamarcus Russel.) Their defense is very good, their offense is an interesting proposition. They won the UNC game mainly on special teams, and have played no formidable opponents since. This is not a battle of BIG EAST versus SEC, anymore than the BOISE STATE versus VA TECH was a battle of WAC versus ACC. WVU is the best offense in the Big East, and realistically the conference is theirs to lose because of the troubles at other schools.

As for the Marshall game, teams struggle against in state rivals. Marshall got close, and lost. That's how it works. WVU is under rated in this spot. I like LSU, mostly I love New Orleans.. Louisiana is my second home.

Tigers by a field goal late.

[Serbone]

Actually, I hadn't checked, you are probably correct.
I checked now and it is 83 in WV, not such a big issue.
Had it been cool (65-72) all week in practice in WV and 93 in Louisiana, it would have been a huge factor.
How about the NY Jets at Miami, then?

[balls2wall]

You can't be serious.

I still haven't figured out what word he was trying to say. My computer locked up when I typed it in the thesaurus.




good to see the homers alive and well in this thread


can't say I haven't done it myself from time to time


good luck to the LSU fans

[curthurley]

I'm not trying to get on the WVU bandwagon here but besides the Marshall game have any of you LSU fans watched WVU before? One of you said something about their dline not having anyone over 300 pounds, feel free to check out a game named Chris Neild, a furture NFL defensive tackle. If this spread goes uo to double digits i'll be placing a bet on mountaineers. I have no confidence that LSU can move the ball on this mountaineer defense. They're good at stopping the run. They do give up the occasional long pass but I dont see Jordan Jefferson having some 400 yard game either. This is going to be a grinding match on that side of the coin. What I'm looking forward to seeing is the LSU defense vrs the WVU offense. LSU has some crazy speed and WVU's oline is less than spectacular. On the other hand WVU has a ton of speed in it skill positions: austion, devine, sanders, Bailey, and woods. Should be interesting to see what happens when they spread the field.
I think it comes down to if WVU's oline can give enough protection to allow Geno Smith to distribute the ball. Thats a big and tall order of IF. Either way, I just cant see this being the big high scoring game that some of you are predicting. Which is why I say, it goes to 10 points or more and im taking the points baby!!!

[Sunde91]

I might bet LSU for the simple fact that Bill Stewart is the worst coach in the country, *ESPCIALLY* on the road when the shit hits the fan and his dumbass doesn't know how to respond.

Now he is playing LSU in Baton Rouge on a Saturday Night?? Himm.

Yeah I do agree with your coaching assesment and on a normal year I'd be with you. But LSU is down this year, not trying to burst LSU fans bubble, just being honest about it. I think this WVU defense is better then some of you think. Unless the LSU defense puts up some POTs. I would think even Stewart would be smart enough to kick it away from Peterson.

[TPowell]

LSU should be favored by around 5 points IMO, at 8.5 its tough for me to make a decision on whether to bet or not. I would love to see this game hit 9.5 or so

[wacked]

I think LSU would be favored by -9.5 if Miles wasn't coaching, but unfortunately he is.

[aman86]

Maybe the only time I'll root for lsu

[yisman]

Zboiz are you on the Saints tonight as well? Nobody will ever accuse you of not being loyal to your home teams.

Yes, he made a thread talking about what a great play the Saints were.

[CarpeDime]

You can't be serious.

TOTALLY AWESOME

Go LSU! get one for zboiz!

I am a Mountaineers Homer, my heart says take +8.5 but my head says take the under.
Hopefully it will be a defensive game.

[702underdog]

It will be a defensive game alright. Not sure if WV will be able to match up with the speed and strength of LSU. I look for WVU to get a few scores. I say 27-13 LSU

This...

I have to fade Stewart any chance I get. He is the worst coach in the country and will be clueless on the sideline. LSU's defense is better than WVU's offense and LSU's offense is bigger than WVU's defense. That's all I need to know. LSU wins this one BIG.

LSU shut down Vandy and MSU who both are about the same quality as WVU on offense IMO.

LSU 28 - 10

[TBonz]

GL with the play.

[Postman78]

Diskising = disguising

[Cris_from_Europe]

the line is now -9 .... should have locked it @ -6.5 .....

[DuncHen22]

Still looking good to me!

[ZBOIZ]

Still looking good to me!

I'll play it up to 14

[Dutch]

I was hoping the o/u would be closer to 50 and I'd go under, but BetUs has it at 42.

I expect LSU will cover, but there are better plays for me this weekend.

[awhitejackson]

1st off, WVU homer here so take what you will out of this... Please tell me WVU's record in the last 7 versus SEC teams.... 6-1... Now every year is different but stop using the SEC versus Big East argument.... WVU PLAYS IN THE BIG EAST... agreed... However, being in a lowly and weak conference (this year the BE sucks I agree) DOES NOT MEAN EACH AND EVERY TEAM IS NECESSARILY WEAK... Boise= WAC, TCU=MWC, Utah=MWC..... This is a game between #22 WVU versus #15 LSU.... Just trying to clarify...

Beyond that I realize that going into SEC country at night (especially in front of 90k rabid LSU fans) is not an ideal situation for any team from any conference... I think the line at -7 is very solid and I wouldn't play it either way in a million years at that number...I wouldn't play the Mounties until it got to an even 10 at best (though I rarely bet my team)...

The one thing that Coach Stew has done (and im nowhere near a Stew fan) is found a way to balance the offense for the first time in 10+ years.. Even Rich Rod couldn't find a QB with an accurate arm, though when you have White and Slaton who needed it??? His (Stews) play calling at times still has me punching my tv on a regular basis... However, Geno Smith is a legit passing threat... 10-10 at start of Maryland game with 2 TDs before leveling off. Marshall game he led 2 90+ yard drives with 4 min to go with excellent precision. If on youtube take a look at those drives and see what I mean... That coupled with Noel Devine and Jock Sanders on the ground will eventually lead to a nasty offensive explosion or two this year no doubt about it... Will it happen this saturday? who knows...If it happens this week will it be enough to counter LSU? Who knows... All Im saying is the guys out there in the desert know its a real possibility for this team to blow up on a good night and the line hovering around a TD is spot on IMO......GL all!!

[LT Profits]

West Virginia Money Line has value here, but WVU ATS is a no-brainer. The teams are fairly equal statistically, but Mountaineers have the MUCH MUCH MUCH (as in 3 muches) better quarterback, and that will be the difference in the game,

[BadNina]

I remember all you so call experts last year when WV played Auburn. That didn't turn out so well did it? And Auburn sucked.

On one hand, you have the Miles factor. If there is a way to screw up a game, he will find it and do it. It was poor coaching decisions (again) that let NC get that close. Since then Miles has been quiet and efficient, which means he is due for a screw up. I fully expect LSU to win this but it will be a really cold day before I go with points while Miles is there calling the shots.

And trust me...the humidity in LA is a heck of a different than WV. I have horrible humidity here in Alabama and yet theirs is worse. You literally have to physically move the air. And then there is the 'skeeters....

[Rbyrne]

that Auburn game was at WVU and auburn really sucked that year and wvu was better then than they are now
