From the booth
The model favored LSU to win, and the call landed.
McNeese opens its season in Tiger Stadium against an 11th-ranked LSU team that just throttled Texas A&M 35-6 at home. The Tigers are 53.5-point favorites, and our model agrees, putting LSU at 99%. LSU's season-long strength and a dominant recent point differential give the Tigers every edge in a matchup between the SEC and the Southland.
