LSU has lost 3 key players on defense this week

They can't beat AL, and they can't pass. No way LSU wins it all.

why do they love Oklahoma so much?

I know last year does not = this year
But we've shown that we have better players at every position on the field. Drives me crazy.

think they are a tad undervalued here.
LSU is overvalued here IMO. I don't have any faith in their passing game or their ability to beat Bama under Les Miles.
Ohio State is overvalued given how much they lost (only 6 returning starters) and having to play at Oklahoma so early in the year. I think they will be a good team later in the year, but winning at OU in week 3 is a big ask.
Tennessee is overvalued as usual. They might not even win the east. If they lose to UGA in Athens they are in big trouble with Bama looming looming a week later and a road trip to College Station sandwiched in there as a potential trap game. The UGA game is also the week after what is likely to be a pretty emotional game against Florida for UT.
ND at 20-1 isn't bad. Brian Kelly is a good coach and they are really strong at QB. Unlikely they have so many key injuries again this year as well.
Stanford at 25-1 isn't too bad either but their schedule is tough.

All of this guess work is a supper pile of SH!T. They so easily throw Bama at the top bc they won the game on the scoreboard. They don't even use what the stats were in that game bc if they did, they wouldn't turn a blind eye to the better team didn't win the game on the scoreboard. But if the shoe was on the other foot, they would use those stats as why they put Bama at the top of chain for winning NCG again this season. Like Dabo has said many times, if we keep knocking them down, soon they will have to give us our due respect bc they won't have a choice. In no way am I trying to discredit Bama bc they have earned the respect they get, but Saban and team know how lucky they were to get a win from that game. I personally feel that we found a way to lose a game that on paper we should have won.

It's not really guess work...it's a business. Vegas makes money, this is how they do it. These are not predictions.

national titles and have arguably the greatest coach of all time. Oh and they've had the #1 recruiting class in the country something like 7 of the last 8 years and were 2nd the other year. Best coach + best talent + proven track record of ridiculous success = benefit of the doubt.

So if you bet $100 you win $850, correct? If so I may throw $100 on this.

Get on it now, then. Vegas only cares that they have basically the same amount of money on either side of the bet so they don't lose either way...and some of those teams are liable to lay a stinker early and start pushing the money to Clemson and our odds down.
