UAB at LSU

There is so much distance between these two teams in terms of talent that it goes without saying that this is a total mismatch. The question then is whether or not almost five TDs are too much to lay in this contest. Looking back at last season, the Bayou Bengals opened the season with three soft games, and went on to claim the three games by a combined score of 145-31, winning by 114 points or 38 points per game. The SEC has been a burial ground for this UAB team over the last two years. They have squared off with three SEC teams and have yet to score a touchdown, having been out-scored 109-15 (31.3 points per game). It should be noted that one was vs. a mediocre Mississippi team 21-3, while the other two were 88-6. This game has the makings of a shutout, and LSU should have no problems getting into the 40s at least. Play on LSU.
