ESPN are morons. Look at the UTrans/UGA game for a sample of the stupidity ...

Tigers looking better by the week. I'm giving them the edge in this one. Just hoping we get some night time Kyle Field Magic and come away with the win. Really liking what Elko is building regardless of outcome. He's solid.

Those models are famously bad at accounting for matchups, which IMO will be more and more important as CFB gains more parity.

I think we have a bunch of teams in a similar tier in the SEC this year, and maybe Georgia is slightly above them in their own tier but its not a hugely significant difference. So how these teams match up against each other will be a big part of who wins each game.

This is one of those games where both schools believe they're the underdogs...

Terrible matchup for A&M. They’ll have to play a perfect game + count on Nuss to choke.

This is just silly. LSU has a marked advantage in QB play.

The implied odds based on the money line is like ~52%. We're a tiny favorite.

A&M has holes in the secondary. LSU has a good passing game. That is the reason A&M loses this game

This is the best DLine they'll have faced, though.

On that note, I heard that Scourton was out. Can anyone confirm or deny?

Nothing about that on TexAgs Premium, and they’re pretty much in the know on such things.

He came back into the game after the injury so probably just iced up

He’s a beast. That’s a guy we definitely need out there.

A 50% Nic Scourton is better than most.

Ole Miss has a pretty dang good DL and Landon Jackson was completely nullified on Saturday. We have exceptional pass blocking offensive linemen.

Not saying Aggies aren't a great DL, but that's strength on strength.

Gotta love it, third week in a row we are the underdog. Should be a good game.
