Will Vols Upset Oklahoma? Who Wins Georgia-S. Carolina? Week 3 Vegas SEC Predictions Here
Saturday Blitz Vegas SEC Predictions Week 3
Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks at No. 10 LSU Tigers
Line: LSU by 31
The LSU Tigers have what might be the most complete SEC-style team in college football. Les Miles looks to have a quarterback who makes plays and comes through when needed, a defense that shuts you down and create turnovers, and a running game that would destroy anybody. The Tigers rushed for more than 300 yards last game. Now they take this complete team into Saturday with a home opener against a very balanced team on offense that has averaged more than 400 yards a game, so LSU will want to rely on all phases of football to come away with an easy victory here.
Louisiana-Monroe, meanwhile, will want to find a way to force Jennings to have turnovers, and they’ll want to use their running game with Centarius Donald to try to hurt LSU, who has a much better pass defense than rush defense.
Prediction
The Warhawks will have one or two good, long drives with their running game that will diminish the massive blowout LSU is going to give them only slightly. The Tigers will run and pass down their throats and force a few turnovers on defense for a win almost as easy as Alabama’s win against Southern Miss.
LSU: 45 Louisiana-Monroe: 14
