    LSU seems too easy

    i feel like lsu should be able to handle a+m and win by a td or more...with that said, the public has been doing very well recently in bowl games,OklahomaST,Wisconson,oklahoma,stan ford, all heavily bet primetime games with lopsided action...And now we have another lopsided primetime gm with 80% or more hitting lsu and moving the line to 2.5 probably 3 shortly..How long before we see the public take a beating??Ive lost my last 4 bowl games after a 9-2 start. Really want to bounce back tonite..and im now leaning towards taking a+m plus the fg, also like under 49..or should i lay off this one, whats the best bet tonite?

    I'm leaning LSU as well, but not too confident either. Still lookin at it, probably a small play.

    LSU can handle anything Texas A&M throws at them, but I'm worried about LSU and there offense?
    Small lean on LSU M/L -130 .... Bodog just went -3 on LSU.

    I think I'm going to take A&M and the over. I like A&M's offense but still not sure about LSU's. LSU's defense has struggled some in the last couple of games. Still looking at this one.

    How can you not like LSU? The only thing is Miles may have 1 foot out the door but he would still want to leave as a winner

    Lots of reasons to like LSU to be quite honest. A&M's track record in bowl games is pretty poor, and we've seen SEC teams playing very well overall. I hate rooting against LSU, have many good friends who went there and a very good buddy who played for the Tigers in the early-mid 70s, may he rest in peace. Comes down to the first and last turnover of the game, or at least it should in a contest that pits a couple of pretty fair country defenses.

    Since QB Ryan Tannehill became the starter in the Kansas game, Texas A&M has not lost. During his five starts he passed for 1,434 yards, 11 TDs and 3 Ints. Also, RB Cyrus Gray finished with six 100 yard games.

    LSU has the better players and usually, (not always) the better team wins. I like LSU.

    Yes it does which makes the line very suspicious. Texas A&M is 0-7 in Cotton Bowl games, but I believe Mike Sherman will have these guys ready. Slight lean towards the Aggies.

    I am backing LSU tonight. Should be a good game but I have LSU winning by 7. SO far been having a good bowl season so my numbers seems pretty accurate. Now I probably jinxed myself by saying this...lol

    I think it is closer than some people are saying. However, I am still on LSU -2 which I got a couple days ago just because of special teams play. Patrick Patterson will be the difference maker and I see this as the factor that will help LSU win by 3 or more

    Exactly my thoughts, when everyone likes a certain side usually go the other way if u wanna win the bet right??but we have seen this happen so far in bowls w oklahoma st, who won easily, oklahoma, everybody was on stanford the other night and they blew em out..i love to bet against the public but have got burned recently doing so, i dont see how tex am can hang with an sec powerhouse..i watched texam put 9 pts on the board against nebraska and just dont see how theyre gana beat LSUs defense

    WillieB, what does A&M's prior success (or lack thereof) have to do with the game that's being played tonight?

    The volume of bets, not money, have been been on LSU since open, and the line moves to -2.
    All day today the volume on Texas A&M doubles, yet the line moves to have LSU give up another point.

    Does that seem like large players are backing LSU, or suddenly on the day of play LSU gives up another point just because the public volume and money is so large on them from the weeks prior?

    On the day of the game so much money comes in that I think the doubling of A&M volume with them still getting a full point seems like Vegas is enticing as much as they can on A&M. This is suspicious and makes me want to avoid A&M.

    At a minimum doesn't seem that there's large amount of money on A&M, at least yet, or the increased volume and so called sharp plays would cause them to lose points not get more. No evidence of sharp on A&M yet.

    TAM has been great with Tanneyhill at QB. He takes care of the ball much more than JJ. Their defense is very underrated as well. That said, I think LSU wins in a close one due to special teams and a defense that will win the field position battle. I also think the running game may be a bit better than TAM's (not much though). Should be a great game.

    LSU by 3-7. Teasing to +4 and under 57 looks the best.
