Oddsmakers currently have the Tigers listed as 7½-point favorites versus the Fighting Irish, while the game’s total is sitting at 52.
The Tigers handed more and more responsibility to freshman running back Leonard Fournette as the season progressed, and the New Orleans native continued to step up. Fournette posted a season-high 146 yards and a touchdown in the 23-17 win at Texas A&M to close the regular season, including a highlight-worthy 22-yard TD run that included him running over a potential tackler. “He’s a powerful runner,” Jennings told reporters. “He has great vision, great work ethic. Whatever’s coming to him, he’s been working for it throughout practice.”
LSU won its last outing, a 23-17 result against Texas A&M on November 27. LSU covered in that game as a 3-point favorite, while the 40 combined points took the game UNDER the total.
Team record: 8-4 SU,8-3-1 ATS
LSU is 4-1-1 ATS in its last 6 games
LSU is 11-4 SU in its last 15 games
The total has gone UNDER in 5 of LSU’s last 5 games
Zaire threw for 170 yards and ran for a touchdown in relief of Golson against USC, and the Fighting Irish are expected to give both a chance to play in the bowl game. “I think both of them have different traits and we need to find a way to win the game,” Kelly told reporters, “and I think both of them can help us win.” Whoever takes the snaps will be looking to get the ball to sophomore wide receiver William Fuller, who totaled five touchdowns and averaged 109.5 yards in the final four games to help keep the contests relatively close.
Notre Dame was a 49-14 loser in its last match on the road against Trojans. They failed to cover the +5.5-point spread as underdogs, while the total score of 63 sent PUSH bettors to the payout window.
