West Virginia vs. LSU
After dominating the last two weeks, can No. 15 LSU continue to roll when it hosts No. 22 West Virginia in Week 4? Read on to check out our free pick for this game.
Before we hand out our free pick for this contest, let’s take a look at the odds.
LSU is a 9.5-point favorite according to oddsmakers from online sports book BroburySports.com. The over/under has been set at 42.
LSU has quietly been very solid this season as the Tigers have won their last two games by a combined score of 56-10 after struggling to close out North Carolina in the season opener. The Tigers strength has been their ability to stop the run, holding opponents to 80.3 rushing yards per game. West Virginia has had a solid defensive effort this season as well, giving up just 255 yards of offense per game. But, the Mountaineers rely on their rushing attack to win. Look for LSU to bottle up Noel Devine and forcing the WVU defense to stay on the field as the Tigers cover the spread.
Some trends to consider for this pick: Trends favor LSU as the Tigers have covered the spread in their last two games and are 1-0 against the spread as a home favorite of 7.5 to 10 points since 2008. West Virginia is just 3-7 against the spread on grass since 2008 as the grass surface slows down WVU’s speed on offense.
