If you can get Western Kentucky at 17 or higher, I suggest a very large play on them.
LSU is coming off an win against a strong opponent and is getting a lot of press and love from the media this week. This attention will lead to a complacent attitude against Western Kentucky, especially since the Tigers are at home. Setting aside the fact that this scenario is always a recipe for complacency, there is a strong example of this exact same series of events earlier this season. After the early season victory over Auburn (a nationally recognized power at the time) LSU's team got a ton of attention all week and was complacent against a mediocre Syracuse team.....and did not cover the double digit line. Even better, Western Kentucky's team has a strong offense that can easily get a back door cover when the Tigers are up late in the 4th quarter.
LSU 42-28
