This is a bit high in my opinion...

In the last five years LSU has played 9 out of conference games against "mid-major" or FCS opponents...

2011:

Northwestern St. (FCS) 49-3

Western Kentucky 42-9

2010:

McNeese St. 32-10

Louisiana-Monroe 51-0

2009:

Louisiana-Lafayette 31-3

Louisiana Tech 24-16

2008:

Appalachian St. 41-13

North Texas 41-3

Troy 40-31

So, in the last five years LSU has covered a 43 point difference against lesser non-conference opponents twice... Once in 2011 against FCS Northwestern St. and once in 2010 against Louisiana-Monroe...

They didn't even do it in 2008 against us when we were 1-11 and were beaten 77-20 by Rice...

Les Miles teams don't run scores up and sometimes play down to their opponent...

43 points, in lieu of recent history, seems high...

Having said that, they definitely have the talent to cover that and more...

WOW! A&M by only 6 1/2 over la-tech. If it lives up to billing then A&M is going to have a tough go in their first year in the SEC.

Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of folks!

btw, does anybody else think that duke being 4 point favorites over Florida Internation is a layup bet, if I were a betting man?

Go mean green

I dunno, Duke might actually be decent this year. They have a really solid quarterback in Sean Renfree. Maybe its best you aren't a betting man :)

My offer still stands to anyone who wants to be a millionaire. In twenty years I have never once made a correct pick on a sports bet. Not one single time. So here's what you do. You give me $200. I go make 20 $10 bets. You make 20 $1,000 bets directly against my picks. I ask 20% of the profits.
