Jon Joseph No. 47 Share Posted Wednesday at 04:56 PM (edited) Place your bets! LSU -7 vs SC in Las Vegas. Which of the teams losing its Heisman winner will be improved on D? Both programs spent a lot of money bringing in new DCs and assistant coaches on the D side. It's only the spring games and it may be that LSU's Nussmeier at QB is better than anyone USC has on the roster including Miller Moss but the LSU DBs still looked like they were practicing a fire drill while the SC D as it did in the Holiday Bowl, looked far more cohesive and not 'every man for himself.' The Over 66.5 could be a good bet. In The Swamp, I'm taking Florida and the 3.5 points over Mari(o) and Miami. I've seen this movie before. Cristobal signs a bunch of highly thought of players who fail to play at their projected level on game day. Betting buzz: LSU opens as big favorite over USC for CFB Week 1 - ESPN WWW.ESPN.COM The LSU Tigers opened as 7-point favorites over the USC Trojans ahead of their Labor Day game in Las Vegas. USC and Lincoln Riley are getting lit up on the SEC Saturday Down South board for trying to get out of the LSU game. LSU's other OOC opponents in 2024 are Nicholls State, UCLA, and South Alabama, all in Death Valley. And, LSU plays 8 and not 9 conference games. I think Notre Dame in 2024 will be a more difficult opponent than what LSU is playing.
