For the first time in 77 years, the LSU Tigers are underdogs to the Vanderbilt Commodores. In fact, Vandy hasn’t been favored over a ranked opponent – ANY ranked opponent – since 1978. Is this week’s line justified? Why do linesmakers see it this way?

Times-Picayune and The Advocate LSU beat writer Koki Riley joins Jim Derry on Wednesday’s Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 428) presented by Evangeline Securities to offer his opinion, and he also talks about Garrett Nussmeier vs. Diego Pavia, the improvement of the Tigers’ offensive line … and, of course, Coach Brian Kelly.

Jim gets into a debate with viewers and listeners on what the New Orleans Saints future should be at quarterback, while Gabe Henderson is here to press Jim’s buttons. Oh, and they also share their best bets for Thursday Night Football between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals.
