All your picks look spot on. I have Auburn upsetting the Dawgs, but after reading your analysis I am beginning to think my upset prediction is nothing but wishful thinking.

Looks like the Odds Makers are favoring the Dogs by 3 points.
That's not a lot of confidence.
OR
Is it a 3 pt. margin to stir up betting???

It is all about betting. They do not set the line based on their score projection. They do set the O/U based on a score prediction and adjust based on betting (if necessary)

Saban alluded to as much in his post game presser's. What exactly are they doing that has essentially given them the "cheat code" to offense?

but what LSU is doing offensively at the moment is about as close to impossible to stop as any 2019 offense can be.

Same here Gray. I'm hoping that Bo has a great game and Fromm is off that day like he gets from time to time. Maybe that DL from Auburn can rattle him.

Same formations and running totally different routes out of the same ones. It’s like RPO/Pro-style attack on steroids, PCP, and crack. Don’t get me wrong, Bama is a beast too. It goes from needing man coverage to zone and back and back again to the point where you see half the defenders going zone while others went man. That’s why you saw the wide open WRs. LSU had the same problem several times too but Tua didn’t see it in time. Jeudy had at least 2 and DS and Ruggs had 1 bust where they could have moonwalked into the end zone. Najee had another. It’s just offenses in general and the blocking rules that just give them a massive advantage over defenses. Ratings seem to indicate viewers like scoring much more than defense even if we purists miss the slugfests.
