We’re just a few days away from the [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] era kicking off in New Orleans against the Florida State Seminoles. The Tigers are favorites in this one, albeit slightly, but they’ve seen the point spread move a bit this week.
LSU was initially listed as a 2.5-point favorite on Monday by Tipico Sportsbook, but since then, that line has increased by a point to 3.5, meaning a field-goal victory would no longer cover the spread.
In my betting advice post on Monday, I picked the Tigers to win by eight points, and I’ll stick with that prediction and pick Kelly’s team to cover the new spread in its 2022 debut. We have a lot of questions about this LSU team, including at the quarterback spot where it’s assumed [autotag]Jayden Daniels[/autotag] has won the job, but Kelly is remaining tight-lipped on the starter until the game kicks off.
LSU begins its 2022 campaign and Kelly’s tenure on Sunday night in the Superdome at 6:30 p.m. CT.
