Expert picks for the LSU-Central Michigan game on Saturday

Everyone is picking LSU to win over Central Michigan but how close will the game be?

Just over 48 hours to kick off on Saturday night in Death Valley. The LSU Tigers look to improve to 2-1 before they open SEC play on the road against Mississippi State in Starkville.

During week one of the season, Saturday’s opponent gave Missouri a scare at home. Can the Tigers avoid a scare and put this game away relatively early on? Head coach Ed Orgeron hopes going up-tempo can put the offense on the attack and put points on the board.
