LSU vs Oklahoma Prediction
LSU hasn’t won a game in a month, is getting rocked defensively, and will play its third road game in its last four games. LSU is 1-6 SU on the road this season as well. Oklahoma isn’t playing any better, with losses in seven of its last 10 games. However, Oklahoma has the offensive talent to add to those LSU defensive issues, and 10 of its 16 wins this season have come at home. This line being this steep is more about how bad LSU has been over the last month more than anything. I’ll lay the points with Oklahoma if forced to pick this SEC matchup.
