LSU vs. Winthrop Betting Prediction

The LSU Tigers have played great this season as their only loss came by just two points. Meanwhile, the Winthrop Eagles have been very inconsistent, particularly defensively, leading to several blowout losses.

Look for the Tigers to take advantage of a poor opponent by winning by at least 16 points in one of their final tune ups before beginning SEC play.

Pick: LSU Tigers -15.5 (-105)
