One week after a bruising win over a then-fellow top 10 team and one week before meeting SEC rival Florida, LSU is prone to a letdown here. As impressive as the Tigers' victory at Clemson was, they managed just 17 points. Louisiana Tech pitched a shutout in its opener in a continutation of its CUSA-leading defense a year ago. The Bulldogs have covered in three straight dating to 2023 when receiving 20-plus points against Power Four opposition. In Week 2 last year, they played N.C. State to within 10 points. All things considered, this spot seems excessive.
