Louisiana Tech vs LSU Prediction
In this Louisiana Tech vs LSU Prediction, LSU is coming as -35.5 home favorites. Both teams are coming off huge wins in their season openers, winning by 41 and 74 points respectively, scoring 131 points combined, while allowing just 16. It is almost impossible to fade a team that won 80-6 in its season opener and they were 8-5 against the spread last season, while LSU was just 4-9 ATS last season and failed to cover the spread in its last three home games last season. LSU will probably win, but laying -35.5 after how both teams looked like week, is not something I am interested in. Take Louisiana Tech and grab those +35.5 points.
