Nebraska Omaha vs LSU Prediction

Nebraska Omaha has not been good defensively, and that’s a concern in a spot like this. LSU has the athletes to give Omaha a hard time. However, let’s not act like LSU is some world beater who deserves to be laying these numbers. LSU is 2-2 ATS this season when favorites of 15 or more points, and it’s failed to cover its last two. Omaha shoots the ball well enough to hang around in this game, it’s simply about playing harder defensively. This still feels like too many points. Give me Omaha on the road.
