LSU was initially listed as a heavy favorite in what should be a tune-up game on Saturday against New Mexico.
Coach Danny Gonzales’ team comes in with a 2-1 record, touting wins over Maine and UTEP with a 31-14 division loss to Boise State to kick off Mountain West competition in Week 2. The Tigers were initially listed as a 29.5-point favorite, but since Monday, that line has grown even further in their favor.
Brian Kelly’s team is now listed as a 31.5-point favorite on Saturday night. The money lines haven’t changed, but the over/under decreased by a point-and-a-half.
Here’s where the betting odds sit at 11:30 a.m. CT on Wednesday, per BetMGM.
| Team | Spread | Total – O/U | Money Line |
| New Mexico | +31.5 -110 |
O 45.5 -110 |
+2000 |
| LSU | -31.5 -110 |
U 45.5 -110 |

This is LSU’s last game against a lesser opponent before it gets into the meat of SEC play with upcoming matchups against Auburn and Florida. The Tigers are set to kick off against the Lobos at Tiger Stadium on Saturday at 6:30 p.m.
