Some books opened the number at -8, others -7.5. The general trend has been -8 to -7.5. Those books that have dropped to -7 have not stayed there long. Action is 75% LSU, which makes us question why the books have been trending downward from the get go. Sagarin does suggest the line should be -9.
LSU had the SEC's second-best offense. Off-the-field distractions may have an impact but we would not focus too much on them. This is still a good team.
They went a solid 19-12 Against The Spread and covered in seven of their last ten games (winning eight of those Straight Up).
From SevenDownSouth.com: "This team has won 26 games and a regular-season championship in a league that produced 7 NCAA Tournament participants, including No. 2 seeds Tennessee and Kentucky, both of whom lost to the Tigers in the regular season."
Regarding Yale, ESPN.com writes: “The Bulldogs can score with anyone, already have multiple victories over power-conference teams and have a potential breakout star in (Miye) Oni. Yale's offense can hang around with anyone, but defense is key in March. If the Bulldogs can't ratchet up the intensity to get crucial stops, they won't be able to win in the tournament. Playing at Yale's pace can be dangerous when facing the kinds of shooters and athletes who await the Bulldogs in the Big Dance."
