Ok… I haven't won all year guessing early so I'm trying late this year. Hogs win 38-24!

Sorry. Forgot to ask Sunshine where he came up with the Tigers scoring 37 points. The highest number of points scored by LSU on a SEC team was 31 (Auburn). The Tigers only scored 24 against Louisiana Tech (3-8). Add to that the Tigers running back woes. Arkansas defense isn't that bad or any worse than, say, MSU where they only scored 30 points. Must be that Tiger Stadium-at-night mystic.

Ah'm goin to do this syuntific-lahk hier since their are now enough data at the end of the season to finagle and spin. LSU has scored an average of 18.4 in their last 5 SEC games (second half of season which tells us more about where the teams are than at the beginning). LSU has given up an average of 17 points per game with those same teams with a differential of 1.4 points. Arkansas has scored an average of 31.2 with its last 5 SEC opponents and given up an average of 22.6 with a differential of 8.8. Add 8.6 to 17 = ~26. Add 1.4 to 22.6 = 24. Rounding off football wise, Hogs win by 3.

This is a classic matchup for arguements between "defense wins games" and "wide open offenses can overcome even the best defenses" Of course there is the best of both worlds but not with these two teams. If you've seen today's Demozette, you will see that all aspects of offense favor the Hogs and all defensive factors favor the Tigers. This game will depend on protecting Mallet giving his receivers time to separate or find the open spot. A variable here, especially in the red zone is crowd noise, so Petrino must have an answer for that. The Razorbacks must not penalize themselves with false starts and illegal motion (Fortunately the Hogs don't have Flozell Adams on the OL). Balancing crowd noise are the RB and QB questions for the Tigers. Realistically, aside from my calculations, I think that the firepower of the Hogs is way, way, way above average and the Tigers defense is good but not up to previous standards. Plus LSU has not face a passing attack as good as Arkansas, and Arkansas has certainly faced as good or better offenses than LSU. If all goes well, score should be Arkansas 38 (or more) and Bengals 20.

Our young Hogs self esteem was way too low at alabama, maybe a bit too high at ole miss after the great game at florida. I believe they have matured and are ready for the spotlight that a big SEC road win will bring. Real Respect starts NOW!!!

As good as the offense has been at home, it has struggled equally as bad on the road.

Plus, the Hogs haven't had to deal with Death Valley at might. I have a bad feeling.

Hogs defence has given about 24 points a game this year….nothing changes this week! We need to show the nation we CAN win on the road! Hogs squeak it out 31-24 on a late TD from Adams!

The only runners LSU have left are their QB's. Lafelle drops more passes per game than the hogs did against ole miss that to me equals no offense,LSU's D-Line is no where close to where it once was.The only defensive weapon LSU has is Peterson but the HOGS have way too many weapons for one man to cover. My prediction we are going to be playing in cotton HOGS-45 tigers -20

tigers come out slow the hogs come out fast, but the Tigers D catchs up and slows down the Hog O after they put up a quick 21. The third quater is a nightmare for the young hogs again, but this time it really come back to bite them on a tejada missed Field goal. SOrry I hope I am wrong but these young hogs been riding high for 4 weeks, we should be thankful for a winning season, But LSU snapps the winning streak. Remember we always loose to LSU when we have a good season.

I concur with most assesments of this game – LSU's offense is going to struggle without thier running game. Ours will be lights out like it has for every other night game this year. The line is 3.5 to 4 and most of our games with the tigers are within 7 points, but that doesn't mean anything. Bet the over – 42 to 24. Hogs win!

This is a blowout. The hogs can stop the fourth string rb and a hobbled Jefferson.

Hey——-the rules allow duplicate scores. With your record this year, I am honored to share 38-23 with you. Do you want the front half of the shirt or the back half?

LSU's defense slows down some of the Hog offense, but not enough!
