40 Lb Box of Rape

Each week, various media outlets and blogs, including this one, highlight the most exciting games of the week. This is like the opposite of that. 40 lb box of rape is a weekly feature where we pick out the most lopsided game of the week where “surprise sex” is the most likely outcome, though lately we've sucked at that, so we're praying for a hit this week.

I'm going with the odds makers in Vegas this week. I've gone against them two weeks in a row, and that has made me look like a fool. This week's surrogate Rape-O-matics are the LSU Tigers. And who will our defending national champions be playing this week? Only the fearsome North Texas Mean Green, who are mere 42.5 point underdog to the Tigers. Holy God, that is a huge spread. The Mean Green (seriously?) come into this fiasco with the 106th ranked offense, and the 100th ranked defense, or as I call it, the rare "Double Triple". LSU is... well they're LSU. As much as I want to berate and mock them, they are still very solid, with their only significant weakness coming from an untested freshman QB. Around the beginning of the fourth quarter, look for the LSU kicker to start taking snaps at tailback, and a few LSU fans getting a shot at the QB slot, just to mix it up.
