View Analysis
LSU has only played one game so far but they looked great in doing so, scoring 88 points in the win over Bowling green. On the other hand, VCU is 2-0 but struggled so hard with North Texas that it dropped them out of the top 25 rankings. I have probably watched LSU the most out of any College team because of how many times I bet on them, and won last year. Before the line came out I really thought this game was going to be a pick em. VCU is 0-2 in their only two games so far ATS, as LSU is 9-2 ATS in their last 11 road games. This LSU team is not bothered by the road at all. On top of returning players Skylar Mays, Williams, and Javonte Smart, LSU had a pretty strong recruiting class. This will be a miss-match for VCU. LSU is better shooting from the field, from 3 point range, and from the line. VCU plays tough defense but they are very sloppy with the ball, averaging 22 turnovers in their two games so far. LSU coach Will Wade is very familiar with this VCU defense and their ways as he coached at VCU for four years before departing to LSU. New VCU coach is now 0-4 in games vs top 25 teams, he cannot win big games. Take LSU here, I love them as an underdog.
