Alabama State vs LSU Prediction 

LSU was able to open the season with a very convincing victory over ULM and they should have no issues in this game either. Alabama State lost their opener against UNLV, but they didn’t play terribly and only missed the cover by a half-point. LSU should dominate the rebounding in this game and their defense will also give Alabama State plenty of trouble. This is a big point spread, but we saw LSU pull away in their first game and I think we see more of the same here. Take the Tigers in this matchup.
