From the booth
The model favored LSU to win, and the call landed.
LSU's got this one locked up at 96 percent, and it's not even close. The Tigers are a top-ten team at home with Vegas laying nearly five-and-a-half touchdowns, and the betting market's got 'em all the way. Louisiana Tech's got about 4 percent to work with here, and honestly they're gonna need to play the game of their lives to pull off the upset.
