    I expected 2-3 points at most. QB position too volatile...and the oddsmakers always account for that.

    But then again, Auburn doens't have a QB.

    No way LSU will be favored at UGA

    They wont be favored at Georgia simply because the game is in Athens. They will be a 1 point underdog I predict....if we win the next two games that is...otherwise that could change.

    If LSU is undefeated going into Athens, LSU will be a somewhat surprising favorite...BOOK IT...

    Ramah...Find your friend Robainawitz on the speed-dial and find out what he thinks... ;-)

    you expected LSU to be a 7 pt favorite in Auburn after the OSU game and AU's blowout of State? hmm what are you smoking.

    I figured AU a 1 pt favorite or even a pick 'em.

    If both UGA and LSU are undefeated UGA will be somewhere around a 3-4 pt favorite over LSU in Athens.

    I just did my picks for this week and it shows Auburn a 1 point favorite....I'm getting nervous.

    it opened at AU minus 3 and wiseguys quickly bet it down to -1. meaning they favor LSU in what's likely a close, low scoring game.

    I wouldn't be surprised if LSU was favored going into the UGA game if they blowout Allbarn.

    But if its a sloppy, close game and UGA blows Marshall out then UGA will probably be favored, especially if they get healthy after the bye week.

    But thats certainly not a given seeing how Troy is a lot better than everyone thought they were and they barely beat Marshall and then Marshall almost beat Ohio State on the road.
