South Alabama vs LSU Betting Pick & Preview – 9/28/2024

The South Alabama Jaguars will face the LSU Tigers on September 28, 2024, with the Jaguars coming in as 21.5 point underdogs according to DraftKings Sportsbook. Early betting trends show the Jaguars getting only 7% of spread bets, while the Tigers are favored with 93% of the bets. The total of 65 points has seen 70% of bets on the under and 30% on the over. This matchup is shaping up to be an interesting one and we've got you covered with our best bet for this South Alabama vs LSU matchup.

South Alabama Looking For Third Consecutive Victory

This season got off to a rough start for the South Alabama Jaguars, after they lost their first two games of the year to the North Texas Mean Green and Ohio Bobcats. But the Jaguars have responded nicely to that 0-2 start, winning each of their last two games. That short winning streak has seen the South Alabama offense average 67.5 points per game, though 87 of those points came against FCS opponent Northwestern State. Still, the Jaguars scored 48 points in their last outing against App State to open Sun Belt Conference play, which is an encouraging sign even if they are expected to be overmatched int his non-conference matchup.

Can LSU Win Fourth In a Row?

The LSU Tigers started their season with a loss to the USC Trojans on Labor Day weekend in Las Vegas. Since then, they have won three games in a row, including their SEC opener against South Carolina. LSU's offense has played well since their loss to the Trojans, with Brian Kelly's team scoring 34 or more points in each of their last three games. Here, the Tigers should have a massive advantage in the trenches over their opponents from the Sun Belt, which they will look to use to win a fourth straight game and to remain in the top-15 in the next batch of college football rankings.

South Alabama vs LSU Best Bet

LSU has only beaten one opponent by over 20 points this season and that was Nicholls State out of the FCS. Still, we like them to do it again in Saturday's South Alabama vs LSU matchup, as the Tigers should be able to cover the spread against the first FBS team they have faced from outside of the power four conferences in the sport.
