A parable that illustrates dd's predictions:

A visitor to a small town noticed on almost every tree, utility pole, and building there was a target drawn with an arrow dead in the bull's eye. Every dead center arrow showed the archer had placed a perfect shot.

The visitor asked who was this wonderful archer and he was told it was the village idiot. Surprised someone thought to be an idiot could be so accurate with the bow and arrow, he went to find him.

Once found, the visitor asked the village idiot where he had learned to shoot that way. The idiot told him he was self-taught and the visitor asked him how he had become so good at hitting the bulls eye. "It's easy," replied the idiot. "I shoot first and then draw the target."

LSU has the worst offense statistically in the SEC. They cannot run the football at all and are 101st in the country in sacks allowed. The team is not in the same kind of physical condition they were 2 years ago due to a decline in their S & C program. They are not that good. We should not lose to them.
