Opening line: LSU favored by 18.5 at Auburn

[GrayTide]

Luck will be on au's sideline it always is, from the standpoint they will get at least one cheap touchdown. IMO au will play a decent first half and be down by 10-14 points. The second half will be a different story. I see a 38-10 win for the Tigers from cajun land.

While most barners are quiet, some are actually chest beating and referring to their 1994 and 2001 games against then #1 ranked Florida as reason enough to believe they can win Saturday. They're talking about how they were heavy underdogs in both of those games how they pulled the upset both times. No idea what those games have to do with THIS season. I guess at this point, even their sunshine pumpers are grasping at straws.

LSU's 1st 5 games:

North Texas
Washington
Idaho
auburn
Towson

pot calling the kettle black.

Seriously!! LSU plays 4 cupcakes and 1 cow pattie before they face their first SEC challenge--but is Florida a challenge? Super fluffy schedule for LSU until they get to us! Ugh!!

the UF game will be the one to watch. let's see how mettenburger handles his first BIG game in the Swamp.
then LSU returns home to face USCe and then travel to TAMU. those 3 games will give us a better gauge who LSU really is.

#23 Onterio McCalebb will run for his life to get away from the LSU defense. He will defenitely need a whirlpool after the game if he survives it. LSU will bend on defense at times and the Barn, like others have noted will get lucky and keep it closer will hope. Unfortunately, hope don't win football games in the SEC. LSU wins in a sloppy, penalty ruled, hard to watch football game. LSU 27 - Barn 17

Hold the rope. Auburn just barely beat LA Monroe, a direction school in Louisiana and you think they'll stay within 10 points of LSU ? Dream on.

LSU also gets South Carolina at home. That won't be an easy game for them. Florida will be tough too. I do think LSU wins both though.

I agree. Neither team has the hosses to deal with the LSU offensive or defensive line. That's just a stated fact. If you're losing the battle of the LOS against the LSU's and Alabama's of the world you're dead meat.

I predict at least 3 injuries to starters and a trick play gets them in to the red zone one time the entire game.

Well, NO. LSU doesn't play Missouri. Only Alabama in the West Division plays both TAM and Missouri!

LSU plays both TAM and Miss. St., plus South Carolina and @Florida. Saying that they face no challenges is false.

 

[Rasputin]

I think the boogs lose a QB!!!

When did they get one??!! :conf2:

Auburn has three players that need to stay healthy the whole year or everything goes down the drain quickly: Emory Blake, Onterrio McCalebb and Kiehl Frazier. I'm surprised McCalebb hasn't been injured yet with his slight frame. He's only 165 pounds. I remember LSU abusing Auburn in Baton Rouge last year.

I see Auburn keeping it close the first half then LSU's stable of backs wearing them down in the 2nd half covering the spread easily. LSU has been unusally slow to start this year then have worn their overmatched opponents down. Auburn should give them their hardest test so far this season. Washington is terrible. The other two teams are not worth even a mention.

I agree. UF is getting better. USCe is good too. I think they handle TAM and Miss St. easily myself.

 

[Mystical]

I just want LSU to be undefeated when they face us. I love the hype of a big game week. That may be the only chance we have a huge game. Was actually pulling for Tn. over Fl. just so they could be undefeated when facing us. Not good to have to many SEC teams down.

And if you read a post or so down I say I missed seeing those games.

LSU Oline will be tested against the UF Dline.

You're right. I forgot LSU lost their best left tackle.

 

[BigEasyTider]

If you would have bet against Auburn in each of the first three weeks, you'd have a lot of money in your pocket these days. Don't see that trend stopping this week either.

Road game and all, but LSU -18 isn't that big of a line as good as they have looked and as poorly as Auburn has played. Unless LSU just gives them some points, this could easily be a 28+point blowout.

Agreed to a certain degree, but Tennessee losing is always a good thing.

the rest of the SEC being down or up doesn't concern me one bit.

all I care is Bama on top.
