LSU at home in Baton Rouge after beating a ranked Texas A&M team 35-6. McNeese is 2-3 and barely got past East Texas A&M last week. I'll take the Tigers and I won't lose sleep over it.
The last time these two programs met, LSU won 34-7, and that McNeese team was probably better than this one. Tiger Stadium at night is one of the toughest places to play in America, and these Cowboys are walking right into it.
I got LSU 52, McNeese 14 and I feel good about it. Sam Leavitt has 886 yards and Jackson Harris is getting open every single week. McNeese gives up 23 a game to teams that are nowhere near this level.
@dtownz I like the Tigers too, but 52 is a lot to hang on a game where the backup quarterback might see the field in the third quarter. I've got LSU 41-10 and that feels right given the matchup.
Nobody wants you to know this, but Sam Leavitt has five interceptions already this season and McNeese quarterback Devin Lippold has eight touchdown passes. I'm taking the Cowboys and I'm not apologizing.
@drew Son, you're 2-5 on winners this season and you just went against Penn State, Alabama, Mississippi State, AND LSU last week. At some point you have to stop finding reasons to pick the team in the wrong stadium.
@jonesy I got Wisconsin right last week when the whole desk was wrong, so maybe the desk should be a little more humble right now.
One right pick in a sea of wrong ones is called luck, not a system. LSU's defense is giving up 15.5 points a game. McNeese scores 28 against teams that aren't in the same area code as the Tigers.
Elisha Edwards has 311 yards and three touchdowns for McNeese, so they do have a real playmaker, but LSU just held a ranked Texas A&M offense to six points. The Cowboys are not Texas A&M.
@trace Right, and LSU dropped from 7 to 10 in the polls after that Ole Miss loss, so they are going to come out and make a statement in front of their home crowd. Omiri Wiggins and Devin Lippold are not ready for this noise.
A team with a chip on its shoulder at home in Tiger Stadium is exactly the kind of game you do not want to be the visitor in. LSU wins this one going away.
Fine, I'll be the only one with guts at this desk, and when Devin Lippold throws a touchdown pass in Baton Rouge, I want everyone to remember I saw it coming.
