UCLA at LSU

The UCLA Bruins had a mediocre offense last season, and I expect them to be worse this season, and so far that has been the case. The Bruins scored just 16 points vs. Hawaii, and 13 vs. Indiana. Neither of those teams are defensive stalwarts. The bigger concern for this game is the 42 points they allowed to Indiana at home. LSU is not going to be as good offensively this season, as they were last year, but this team always has speed on the outside and have proven capable for big strike potential. The Tigers scored 36 last week in South Carolina. The Tigers have had recent success winning and covering big spreads as they are now 5-1 ATS in their last six when laying 21 or more points. The Bayou Bengals have won those games by a combined score of 337-62! I like LSU in this one.
