#1 LSU vs #4 Oklahoma, 4 pm ET on Dec. 28 in Atlanta

[BB73]

This matchup deserves its own game thread. There will be another one for all of the other non-CFP playoff bowls.

Battle of the transfer QBs, presumptive Heisman winner (and former Buckeye QB) Jesus Burreaux vs. ex-Bama QB Jalen Hurts.

The line opened at LSU -11 and it's now around 13.

13? No respect for the Sooners. What is the O/U? I am taking the Over.

Around 76, that seems low.

Around 76, that seems low.

I would be surprised if this wasn't 56-49 type of game.

Is it on ESPN/ABC? I wanna hear them just gush over the great defenses being played while 80 yard touchdowns are handed out like candy.

Yup, if its' not a close game LSU wins.

Betcha Saban is wishing that he hadn't run Hurts out of town, huh?

I think only like 2 bowl games aren't on ESPN. And there will more than enough gushing for the next 19 days to satisfy everyone's cravings.

In the first half? Has Vegas watched these teams play? Oklahoma is gonna score, and while they'll make some big plays on defense, they'll also give up numerous bombs.

I would be surprised if this wasn't 56-49 type of game.

I think I should do a prop bet for Burrow's passing yards and for Hurts' total yards in this game. Somewhere in the 400-450 range for both, I think.

No offense to Joe Burrow, but I'm rooting for Oklahoma. I want to hear the ESPiN on that one if OU wins. Wouldn't mind a chance to shove the planted flag up Riley's ass, either.

I think I've gotta agree with that. I'm for whatever improves the Buckeyes' chances at winning the Natty.

And since the final game is at the SuperDome in N'Awlins, I'd rather it be Oklahoma (plus they're more beatable).

Couldn’t help but notice how big and slow the LSU d-line was. Georgia couldn’t seem to find a way to exploit that, but I think the land grabbers will. Burroughs was impressive as a passer and runner.

LSU runs a 3-4.

One of their MLBs is an undersized converted DB, Patrick Queen, 6-1 227.

Gonna be a shoot out. Whoever has the ball last night be the winner.
