NCAA Football Odds: LSU Tigers (-7.5) -110 vs. North Carolina Tar Heels (+7.5) -110: Over/Under 43

At least one of these two teams really knows what’s going on this year. The Bayou Bengals probably aren’t a legitimate Top 25 team this year, as they have reached this status of being the 16th ranked team in the country on name recognition alone.

Don’t let that fool you. Head coach Les Miles is on one of the hottest seats in the country right now.

The Tigers are going to be relying heavily once again on Jordon Jefferson to run the offense. This unit ranked in the bottom 20 in the nation last year in total offense and averaged less than 24 points per game. Though the LSU defense is solid, it just isn’t going to cut it to average that type of scoring production in the SEC or in games like this against fellow big time schools.

Unfortunately for Butch Davis, he really still has no clue what he can and cannot count on for this Saturday’s critical clash in the Peach State. We already know that Marvin Austin, one of the nation’s best defensive linemen has been suspended indefinitely. Three other starters, Quan Sturdivant, Bruce Carter, and Deunta Williams, all of which were preseason first team All-ACC players, have reportedly been suspended as well. A total of 15 Tar Heels are expected to miss this game and potentially several more in the future. Agent benefits and academic misconduct are being quoted for all of the suspensions that the Tar Heels are going to have to cope with beginning Saturday night.

Now, the Tar Heels are going to have to pick up the pieces and rely once again on the arm of TJ Yates, who is under the scrutiny of all of the fans clad in Carolina Blue after having a subpar 2009 campaign.

NCAA Football Insider Tip: The Tigers have covered the spread in four straight games against the ACC and are 15-7 ATS in their L/22 non-conference games overall.

We wish that the threes and fours that were on the board earlier in the week were still existing, as it is becoming more and more clear that UNC is in a boatload of trouble. Depending on how many suspensions really end up getting handed out between now and Saturday night, the Tar Heels could find themselves getting blown out of the water. LSU is our college football odds prediction of the day night!
