UCLA at LSU College Football Prediction & Best Bet – 9/21/2024

The UCLA Bruins and LSU Tigers will clash on September 21, 2024, with the Bruins as 24-point underdogs according to DraftKings Sportsbook. Early betting trends show the Bruins receiving 43% of spread bets, while the Tigers have 57%. The total of 56.5 has seen 82% of bets on the under and 18% on the over. Continue reading as we break down this UCLA vs LSU matchup, which is expected to be lopsided in favor of the home team from the SEC.

Will UCLA's Struggles Continue?

The UCLA Bruins are 1-1 this season but they have looked rough in both of their games so far this year. They have averaged 14.5 points per game, despite one of their two games coming against an inferior Hawaii team. Here against LSU, any lingering offensive issues could cause a real problem, as they are taking on a Tigers team that is explosive enough offensively to create some real separation between these two teams on Saturday afternoon in Death Valley.

LSU Looks For Third Straight Win

The LSU Tigers lost their first game of the season to the USC Trojans but have bounced back with two straight wins since then. That includes a win in their SEC opener last week against the South Carolina Gamecocks, where LSU was the beneficiary of some favorable officiating late. Here, LSU will look to put together their first dominant 60 minutes of play against a power conference opponent, which should be an attainable goal against one of the worst power four teams in college football this year in UCLA.

UCLA vs LSU Best Bet

LSU has been far from convincing in their games so far this season. Still, it is hard to see them not blowing UCLA out this weekend, as UCLA has simply been dreadful on the offensive side of the ball. Bruins quarterback Ethan Garbers has just one touchdown through two games and his struggles should continue in a hostile environment, as we expect LSU to win and cover the spread at home.
