Prediction and Best Bet
Stephen Lew-USA TODAY Sports
The Tigers looked a bit sloppy in Game 1, which was to be expected with a new coaching staff and roster that has undergone so many changes this offseason. Luckily, the Tigers’ have a relatively kind non-conference slate to open the season while they figure things out.
Arkansas State took care of business in it’s opener against a Division II opponent, but LSU on the road will be a different challenge entirely. I’m not sure I love the Tigers to cover, given the margin against Kansas City, but I do expect a comfortable win.
Prediction: LSU 75, Arkansas State 61
Advice: Arkansas State (+18.5) / Under (140.5)
