Pags and I were talking about this game the other day and I know a lot of guys are on LSU here (man of whom I have great respect for) and for many good reasons but something tells me that someone out there knows something that we don't know.
I mean you have a very heavy public team, a high profile team, first game of the year, national television, and on a day when all NCAA bettors are counting down to....and the line comes out at -16.5???? Something smells fishy.
True, LSU is clearly the better team but they are breaking in a new QB, they did lose some skill players in their offenseive positions, and they are on the road laying 2+ TDs in a typically difficult place to play. MSU is not very good by most objective measures but they were very competitive in the 2nd half of the season last year, are playing at home in the first game of the season it what should be a very reved up crowd for this game.
Put it this way, I am not going to lay this many points on the road but I can see MSU either backdooring this game in the final few minutes or being very competitive where LSU survives a scare.
Good luck fellows but I will pass on this one.....
