Prediction
LSU has recovered nicely from an 0-1 start, winning their next three games in a row to get back inside the top-15. That said, the Tigers have still struggled in most weeks and thus, have yet to cover a single spread this season.
South Alabama on the other hand, continues to have a prolific offense, which could give them a fighting chance against the Tigers. Because LSU’s defense has still shown some vulnerabilities and their offense has failed to put teams away until late in games, backing the Jaguars to cover the spread will be our best bet.
Final Pick
South Alabama Jaguars +21 (-110)
