I wish these games would go away and never come back. How great was that LSU vs. Auburn game? 22-21, it doesn’t get much better than that. This game, on the other hand, it doesn’t get much worse.

I think after such a huge win, the Tigers will come out slow and lackluster. That’s why I don’t think they cover the 21-point spread but who cares? They will move to 4-0 with a great opportunity to contend for the SEC West.

LSU: 31 Louisiana Tech: 13 (Louisiana Tech +21, Under 51)

LSU won’t have anything to worry about in this game. The Tigers will pound the rock on offense and play ball control. Also, their defense will consistently stop the Bulldogs offensive attack.

Overall, this game won’t be very close. Expect LSU’s offense and defense to come out swinging in the first half and wear down Louisiana Tech. Ball control and getting three-and-outs will be the key to victory to win this game.

LSU: 45 Louisiana Tech: 14 (LSU -21; Over 51)

The LSU Tigers and Ed Orgeron keep making me look ridiculous. I’m done betting against them, and that includes on the spread. After last week’s epic win over the Auburn Tigers, it’s time to admit this team is legit. Maybe Tennessee football should have hired Orgeron in 2009 after Lane Kiffin left for the USC Trojans!

Anyway, the Tigers actually have a decent Group of Five opponent that they are facing this week. The Louisiana Tech Bulldogs are 2-0, after all. But I don’t care. I’ve got LSU covering once again because of that defense. And that defense is also why I have LSU covering AND the game still hitting the under.

LSU: 35 Louisiana Tech: 10 (LSU -21; Under 51)
