LSU at Alabama
Vegas Favorite: LSU -7.5

Weekly Summary: The Sag system wen 5-0, netting us $500
Year to date summary: The system is making a comeback to respectability after have 3 good weeks out of 4 and is now 21-24. We'd be down $540.
Going the other way: We'd be 24-21 and thus up $90
We are definitely seeing a trend that Sag's computer does a better job picking games as the season progresses. Stay tuned for next weekend's picks which I will post on Thursday.

LSU- 41, Bama- 34
LSU wins by 7, therefore Bama covered. Or I could just be slightly retarded.
I didn't see the game and did the post based on Yahoo sports. Maybe my eyes deceived me but I could have sworn they were showing a score of 41-31.
Anyway, I have updated and corrected. Thanks.
They won by 7, not 7.5. Hence, no spread.
LSU needed to win by 8 to cover. They won by 7 and thus did not cover. Bama covers and Sag's suggestion was right.
