LSU Backers DO realize LSU hasn't played anyone, don't they?

[VegasDave]

Okay, yes, they beat Auburn in Auburn.

Please forgive me for not being blown-away-impressed that it took them a go ahead touchdown at the very end of the game to beat a team that beat Southern Miss by 14, Mississippi State by 1, Tennessee by 2, and lost to Vandy by 1.

Not to mention, they gave up 21 to a useless Auburn offense.

Other then that?

Division 2 Appalachian State...
North Texas...
Mississippi State... (24 points given up here!)

Now they are going in to Florida, by far the best team they've played so far, and a team that knows that every game for the rest of the season is an absolute must win. Scary.

I'm not saying play Florida... I'm just saying, with 48 games this Saturday, is a completely unproven LSU really a best bet??

[mmike032]

no where near a best bet, I dont think there is any such thing as a best bet in the SEC anyways. However, your right that LSU hasnt proven anyhting yet but on the same hand FLA hasnt proven anything either. In fact the only game FLA looked impressive was agaisnt Tenn which isnt saying much. Fla was flat last week agaisnt ARK.
LSU will be the tuffest D FLA has faced to date. I see a close game like always with FLA winning by 4.

[Dbldown11]

please please please tell me who Florida has played??? At least LSU has beaten the mediocre team they've played.

Florida lost to Mississippi, and struggled with Arkansas for most of the game. Florida is a perfect example of a team waaaaay over rated early in the year. and as a side note Mr. Tebow really hurt his high draft chances, and his wallet by not coming out last year

[CaneDawg]

It will come down to turnovers.

Not rocket science as most close games do.

I am leaving this game alone but the line is 6 and if it moves to 7 I would put a small play on LSU.

[VegasDave]

True, Florida hasn't played anyone, either.

I just think it is funny in a forum full of handicappers how many people are unwilling to throw a game away. These are kids. Out going to class, chasing tail, partying. Shit happens sometimes. I think it is unbelievable how quickly people turn on teams because of one bad game. USC is overrated, Florida is overrated, blah blah blah.

This isn't a shot on you, this is a shot on everyone. You are going to lose a lot of money in college football if you aren't willing to throw out a game every now and then.

[mmike032]

Tebow is struggling this year compared to years prior, but I wouldnt bank on Tebow not playing a career game agaisnt LSU. Dont get me wrong, I desipise the golden child known as Tim Tebow amd everything FLA related but the guy is capable of putting up big numbers.

[mmike032]

the difference will be the home field so the edge goes to FLA.
I got a small wager on LSU+6 and LSU+8.5 in a rediculous teaser.

[artie81]

LSu will not score against Florida's Defense, Lsu's offense is even the same league as Floridas. While both Defenses are about the same. Florida will manage to move the ball more efficiently and cover vs. the line

[artie81]

Typo, should be Lsu's offense is not even in the same league as Florida's.

[Dbldown11]

I have not bet on Florida a single time this year IMO, so I am not turning on that after one game

[Lout84]

I am not on this game, as I think it is too volatile. Also, it is a reverse line move. People have been hitting LSU hard and the spread actually went from +3 to +6. There is a red flag.

[daneblazer]

LSU will control the line of scrimmage in this game. UF has the better skill position players but they may not have much time to get open downfield. This is always a physical game. 6 points is a gift imo

[Lout84]

I think it will be close to the spread.

[artie81]

Florida by 7-10 pts, not as close as everyone thinks. Lsu will be lucky if they score 14 pts, Florida will score anywhere from 24-27. lsu's qb's looked pretty bad last few weeks, got lucky against Auburn, Florida will come out with a point to prove after losing to Miss.

[artie81]

Still there are better games out there to put $ on.

[ryanXL977]

lsu is lsu, every year
who cares whot hey have played
they are better than floprida

[saddestbison]

precisely

look at their games so far, they nearly always lose time of possession and were beating miami 9-3 going into the 4th, arkansas 17-7 going into the 4th and lost at home to ole miss...

LSU will dominate the Line of scrim and their defensive depth will be too much for florida late in the game.

LSU was able to pound the ball late in the game last year and while their offensive line has improved, florida's front seven has got worse. LSU gets RJF back at full strength and their best linebacker will be back. Tebow was harrassed the whole game last year and that won't change one bit this year ESPECIALLY late in this game.

Miles has lost by 6 only 4 times. One of those being in overtime when LSU failed to convert a 4th and 1 after kentucky scored first in triple overtime.

I may not bet the ML but the spread is just too much for any top sec team to receive.

Home field advantage has been useless so far in the sec this season. Every big game has been won by the road team. (lsu at auburn, ole miss at florida, UGA at SC, bama at georgia, Florida at UT) the only exception was auburn at vandy.

it's why uga wasn't able to cover 7 vs a sad south carolina team. Why UGA was a terrible bet vs bama, and why LSU getting 4 was too hard to pass up vs auburn. Hell everyone on this site made money on kentucky +17 vs bama even @ bama. You take the points, and probably get an outright win.

LSU coming off a bye week is very tough and Les Miles and his staff are some of the best prepared coaches in the country when given time to prepare for the game. Look at the bowl record and the scores in those games while at LSU. 3-0 in the bowl games outscoring miami, notre dame, and Ohio state (11,4,and 2 ranked teams) 119-41 in those games.

again, lsu is the side

Hell of a write up

I disagree

LSU has been held under 14 three times since the florida matchup in 2003 (rainy, low scoring game)

2 vs auburn at auburn in extremely physical games, and once in a game vs florida with turnovers in the red zone.

They haven't given up 27 points in a non overtime game since their 2005 sec championship game vs georgia (after playing 11 straight games due to the hurricane).

[saddestbison]

Hell of a write up

hope you take LSU

[Dbldown11]

Oh yeah, ive already got em in my thread as a play

[tland22]

hahahaha all this comming from a JEALOUS "USC" fan.... yea thats pretty pathetic. U act like USC actually HAS played someone.... they havent played ANYONE the past 4 seasons! HAHAHA

GO OREGON STATE!

[I.R.B]

Well you do realize that this is Lsu you're talking about not Idaho...... right?

[I.R.B]

True, Florida hasn't played anyone, either.

I just think it is funny in a forum full of handicappers how many people are unwilling to throw a game away. These are kids. Out going to class, chasing tail, partying. Shit happens sometimes.

This isn't a shot on you, this is a shot on everyone. You are going to lose a lot of money in college football if you aren't willing to throw out a game every now and then.

Wow... Im baffeld at this post, You're a funny guy.

Lsu @ +220 How could you let that pass up.

[I.R.B]

So im guessing you give Lsu no chance of winning this game?

[I.R.B]

If the redsox where +220 tomorow would'nt you take a shot at them?

[VegasDave]

Wow... Im baffeld at this post, You're a funny guy.

Lsu @ +220 How could you let that pass up.

I was just trying to point out the fact that they haven't played anyone.

+220 isn't bad at all. They could even cover the spread. Obviously I didn't take Florida, meaning I don't see an edge in doing so.

Both sides are live. Find me a quote on this thread where I said Florida WILL win this game or LSU WILL lose this game. I didn't.

I personally would just prefer more information on a team that I was getting only 4 points on to go into the Swamp. For a team with such fantastic line play, 21 points against VS. Auburn and 24 points against VS. Miss State is not that much of a statement.

[ZBOIZ]

Football is won up front and LSU has the best DLINE AND OLINE in the country!

[tland22]

Z said it perfectly....

LSU +6.5 looking pretttttttty pretttttty good. as well as the ML

After the storm ESPN 1300 AM never came back up on the radio. Do you know when it will be back up

[tland22]

I KNOW! sooo aggravating... i have no clue when it is suppose to be back up.

DBL...not that I don't agree with you on all of this but there is one thing you are wrong about here....Tebow couldn't have come out of college last year. He was still too young. You have to be out of highschool 3 years remember...and last year was only his Sophomore year. After this year is the first time he will be draft eligible for the NFL.

[Doc JS]

LSu will not score against Florida's Defense,

Is this the same vaunted Florida defense that gave up 31 to Ole Miss at home?!?!?

Doc
