The LSU Tigers aren’t a team I’m running to the window to lay big chalk with, as they’re not nearly as good as they’ve been in years past, and I’m not sure they’re capable of blowing teams out. With that said, the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks are awful on both sides of the ball, which includes being ranked 110th in scoring offense and 115th in scoring defense. LSU should be able to bully its way to a blowout victory, but this isn’t a game I’d touched personally.
