This game opened December 8 -7? Was quickly pounded by sharps to -7.5 within the hour. It's hard to believe, maybe because of perceived records. LT 9-3? Miami 6-6, the public is on LT. I see them that close to 60%, and in Shreveport. It's basically a home game for LT.
Public dragged that -7 point 5 All the Way down to -5.5 on December 12. In the last day Miami getting solid action from -6? To now -7.
LT beat Grambling by 6, and rice by 3, not very impressive. They piled up wins Over the likes of UMass. They got beat by UAB, and blowing off the field by an average Marshall team. No question if Miami is motivated this is a mismatch. Additionally, LT best cornerback is out. Will Miami show up, that's the question. Don't forget they lost their last two barely being bowl eligible against Duke and Florida international.
Taking a shot at Miami -6.5-120

LT played last 5 games missing top offensive players because of injuries and suspensions. This is first time all season they will have all available. They were pissed that UAB went to championship game.
From what I read, Everyone jumped on them early as a dog with the best version of themselves showing up.

I can't get by them, barely beating Rice and Grambling. Marshall destroyed them 31-7 they have a soft schedule, I could be wrong? But I think if Miami is the least bit interested they should beat an average LT team. Skip is a good coach, I'm sure they will be ready. It's all a matter of hurricanes want to be there on not.

Not happy to be holding two tickets on the hurricanes now? Just before Martel came in, I was thinking Williams looks bad, but Martel looks like complete helter-skelter. Henderson is a solid back for LT, didn't watch many conference USA games this year, but he is definitely solid. Miami is so Jekyll and Hyde, and has been for so long now. My college coach was OC down there, and he's been everywhere college and pro, and says it was a disaster, so many problems.
