Our LSU Tigers vs Houston Cougars Prediction
Houston is the small favorite in this matchup, but still looks to be the betting option. The Cougars have consistently been solid all season, while LSU has clearly had a down season. The Tigers fired their head coach midway through the season, and after that point, the Tigers appeared to check out.
LSU did hire Lane Kiffin to help turn their program around, so there is some incentive to play well in this game, as he is sure to be watching. Regardless, the Cougars have been much more effective offensively, while also having a solid defense.
LSU, on the other hand, has not been consistent offensively; therefore, our LSU Tigers vs Houston Cougars prediction is: Houston Cougars ML.Claim $200 for your LSU Tigers vs Houston Cougars wager!
