Infographics & Predictions[ - ]
The under has been the pick for LSU this season as the under is 12-7-1 for them on the year. That is not hard to believe because LSU plays at a slow pace, ranking No. 260 in tempo, and has a top 100 defense but a 177th ranked offense, in terms of efficiency. They face a Texas Tech defense that ranks 50th in the country in defensive efficiency. LSU averages about 71 points per game but I don't see them hitting that number against Tech's D. I see this as a game that will be played in the 60s, given the defensive strength of both squads. Also, the under is 3-1-1 in the Tigers last 5 home games and 3-0-1 in the Red Raiders last 4 Saturday games. Take the under.

The Red Raiders have a stronger offense and both teams have a compariable defense. The Red Raiders won more games straight up and against the spread over their last 3 matchups. Adjusted score predictions based on power rankings and strength of schedule: Red Raiders 76 to Tigers 67.
