LSU Installed as Massive Favorite When It Hosts Louisiana Tech

Bookmakers and computer models project a lopsided Tigers win that reflects early confidence in Lane Kiffin’s high-scoring offense.

Overview

  • LSU, which opened its season with a 51-10 win in Lane Kiffin’s debut, will host Louisiana Tech on Saturday, Sept. 12 at 6:30 p.m. CT at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge.
  • Sportsbooks list LSU as roughly a 33-to-35-point favorite with an over/under near 55.5, while specific lines vary slightly between books such as BetMGM, FanDuel and others.
  • Multiple predictive models and outlets give LSU an overwhelming win probability, with some simulations putting LSU’s chance above 95 percent and projected scores that forecast a blowout.
  • Early-season form helps explain the gap: LSU’s Sam Leavitt totaled 343 yards and three touchdowns in the Clemson game, while Louisiana Tech scored a program-record 80 points in its opener with Blake Baker throwing for 232 yards and three scores.
  • The game will air on SEC Network/SEC Network+ with streaming on Watch ESPN and some listings noting Fubo, and the heavy line could influence coaching decisions on player time and betting movement before kickoff.
