    Split-squad scrimmage. ;)

    (Might as well be, as lopsided as it is likely to be).

    Fixed.

    Alabama giving up anything less than 24 is money in the bank.

    Havent followed Big10 football much, but is Michigan getting 17 at Michigan State a huge historic number?

    Maryland getting 10 at Wisconsin. Terps are in 3rd place in the Big10 East. smh

    Didn't Mississippi State win at LSU, at night, this year?

    Mississippi State, this year, is special.

    Not only that, but the last two times Ole Miss has played in Baton Rouge, the Rebels lost 43-36 and 41-35.

    And one of those was a shitty Houston Nutt team.

    Those awful LSU QBs against that ballhawking Ole Miss secondary? Gimme, gimme, gimme.

    Yeah. The line would make me think twice (check how all those short road favorites did two weeks ago), but the idea of LSU being unbeatable at home at night isn't as strong as it once was.
