The Pick

LSU -3.5

LSU looked like an elite team against Alabama, and they’ve looked like an elite team in the past several weeks with wins over Florida and Ole Miss. Barring a hangover from the Alabama excitement, LSU should be able to shut this roller coaster of a Razorbacks offense down, especially considering both their quarterbacks are injured. This spread seems like a lock.
