Anyone else on the Alabama vs LSU Under 41?

Everyone is thinking this will be alot higher scoring affair since its all on the line. Last game both teams played to not lose and now they'll be playing to win. Miles played way more conservative than usual. I see Les taking more risks and winning by double digits but I don't think it goes over 41

Only way it goes over is if there's a few defensive takeaways that turn into easy scores.

If Georgia Southern can score 21 on em...

I'm liking the over this time. The under seems too easy.

Really feels too high but then again LSU on the spread and ML looked like a gift on the road against Bama too.

OVER 40

I'll be crazy and take the Under.

If it's seems too good to be true then it probably is. Think about it...why would Vegas set the total this high given a 9-6 game in November? Obviously, everyone automatically thinks under but the number is 40 for a reason. I say the books make a load on the under bets. Just my 2 cents.

Yea, it would be more reasonable for this to be set at 34 points if the Under is the main play.

There's a lot of defensive players from these two teams that will be 1st round picks in the NFL draft. These defensive players could keep it low again.

It will easily go over because of the rust on both teams............

If my Under gets screwed. Oh well, that's gambling.

If Teebow can score 30, anything is possible.

One thing I see no one mentioning is the lack of a backup QB for Bama. I'm way more comfortable with Jarrett Lee at the helm if JJ goes down. I think JJ gets it done and McCarren isn't quite ready for prime time.

Switching QBs would make this a different game. Interesting to see what happens.

This line really doesn't make any sense considering these teams are the top 2 for fewest points allowed. The Under looks way to easy. It's one of those bets that you'll feel like a retard taking the Over but when it hits you'll feel like a pro gambler. Gotta take the Over as when the line doesn't make sense the books know something we don't.

From two forums that I read. Most of the public is on the Over.

I think the linemakers are trying to trap the Over bettors by making the line high. Or I could be wrong.

Hmmm, public is generally betting the Over as it's more fun watching games hoping points are scored. The line could have been set at 50 and the public would still be on the Over

The Under is looking good so far.

GunShard · 01-09-12, 11:50 PM

Congrats to all the sharp Under bettors!
