UAB vs LSU Prediction, Game Preview, Live Stream, Odds & Picks
The No.6 LSU Tigers may have ruined their chances of making it to the College Football Playoff, but there is a chance a two-loss team eventually breaks through. If that team is to be LSU, they need to beat UAB at home. It’s not a tall task here, as the Tigers are heavily favored. However, with Texas A&M and No. 1 Georgia in the next two weeks, there’s danger of the dreaded “look-ahead.”. UAB is 1-3 in its last four games and little more than a punching bag in this one.
The oddsmakers aren’t giving the Blazers much chance to win at +450 on the Moneyline and +14½ on the spread. The full game total is 52.

Tigers SEC West Champions
LSU will use this as a prep ahead of its regular-season finale against Texas A&M in Week 13. Despite a close call against Arkansas last week, LSU’s a far superior team to anything Conference USA has to offer, especially not the sixth-place Blazers.
Quarterback Jayden Daniels struggled against Arkansas (86 yards, one interception). However, last week was a blip. Expect Daniels to flirt with 300 yards, LSU to lead wire-to-wire en route to an ATS win.
