If this forces the coaches to play Slaton and Conliffe, then our defense is better. Much better, even if they make a few mistakes.
Let's try the more logical explanation instead of the conspiracy/injury theory. Vegas set the line based on the Troy performance. As the week as progressed betters have taken a more critical look and realize that LSU is, in fact, a talented team and the line has moved to where it probably should have been since day one. Reading comprehension is only the first step, critical thinking is the next. Try it some time.
What does it say that LSU coming off a loss to Troy at home enters today's game in our crib a 1.5-point favorite?
He only loses the ones he is "supposed to", right?so LSU was favored so it was not an upset at all. It was predicted as an LSU win
