I think you guys piled all over this post for some deservedly poor comments, but I do agree with the play and the logic regarding line movement.
I see, however, that the line opened at 9 or 9.5 in most places.
Unfortunately he made this post, which makes him seem a little

Ok. First, my thoughts are this:
Both teams are head on for the number 1 spot in the nation, both are playing awful teams, both will take this opportunity to gain popularity by playing not against their respective opponents but against each other (as in who will win by a bigger margin). Usually these kind of scenarios work out well. Oklahoma won 79-10 last time they were in this spot and by 38 vs. Miami (FL), NOT an awful team mind you. I think they are still steaming from that Fiesta Bowl loss.
59-7 Oklahoma
LSU won 45-0 and by 41 against a fairly strong VA-Tech team. They can score once every 7:30 and it'll be enough 'cause MT ain't scoring on this LSU defence. They got their satisfaction by hanging 42 on UL.
48-3 LSU
And since both of these top teams have easy blowouts ahead, USC will try to win in an impressive fashion too.
42-17 USC
2nd: Yes I have money on these games. Just wanted to know public opinion. As for the backdoor, Oklahoma will be up by enough (with scores on offence and defence) that a backdoor TD wouldn't hurt. And backdoor or not, nobody's touching LSU in their backyard!
