Rank possible outcomes.....

[thekimmer]

Four possible outcomes vs LSU. LSU blowout, MSU blowout, LSU close win, MSU close win. Rank them based on highest probability. A blowout win is defined as more than 2 TD and a close win as less than 2 TD.

1. LSU close win - 50%
2. LSU blowout - 40%
3. MSU close win - 10%
4. MSU blowout - 0%

So difficult to get a read on this with a completely new staff and offensive and defensive philosophy. Also no spring to assess. LSU very talented by lost so many weapons and their offensive mastermind.

Pessimist or realist? Seriously, why do you think the situation is that dire for State?

LSU Blowout 25%
LSU Close Win 50%
MSU Blowout 5%
MSU Close Win 20%

Yes. I believe if the game and situation (week 1 during a pandemic) were replayed 100 times, Mississippi State would win 5 of them in blowout fashion. Some of you may have corndog fetishes.

A little of both. Hope for the best, plan for the worst. We have a tendency to shat the bed vs LSU.

 

[L4Dawg]

LSU blow out 75%
LSU close 15%
MSU close 9%
MSU blow out 1%
The reasons: Our offensive people do not fit Leach's style yet and we didn't have a spring to install it properly. We lost a LOT from a defense that wasn't that great.

It's just hard to say because so much depends on our secondary's performance, and we don't really know what they're going to be like. I think LSU is going to look rough on offense, but they might pick up points in bunches off big plays while not being able to sustain a drive for ****. I'm thinking:

1. LSU close win - 47
2. LSU blowout - 35
3. MSU win - 15
4. MSU blowout - 3%

 

[PirateDawg]

O ye of little faith

1. LSU close win - 40%
2. LSU blowout - 20%
3. MSU close win - 35%
4. MSU blowout - 5%

Odd things do happen in college football the first week. If our defense confuses their offense good things could happen.

 

[cowbell88]

LSU blowout 12%
LSU close win 42%
State close win 38%
State blowout 8%

[horshack.sixpack]

We've won 2 since 2000. 2 of our losses have been by less than 10 points (2015 and 2016). That puts historical odds (since 2000) at:

LSU close win: 10%

LSU blowout: 80%

MSU close win: 5%

MSU blowout: 5%

 

[Maroon Eagle]

1. LSU close win - 30%
2. LSU blowout - 50%
3. MSU close win - 17%
4. MSU blowout - 3%

 

[kired]

1. LSU close win - 15%
2. LSU blowout - 70%
3. MSU close win - 14.99%
4. MSU blowout - 0.01%

 

[DoggieDaddy13]

If winning by 12-18 points is a considered a blowout, then MSU wins 100%. Praise the Lort and Hail State!

 

[BlueRidgeMtns]

1. LSU close win - 40%
2. LSU blowout - 49%
3. MSU close win - 10%
4. MSU blowout - 1%

I'm a weird mix of excited and nervous.

 

[messageboardsuperhero]

Depends on your definition of close. I’ll assume close includes anything within 10 points. I think LSU wins by 10-14 points.

LSU blowout win- 45%
LSU close win- 35%
MSU close win- 17%
MSU blowout win- 3%
