The season is still over a month away but that doesn't mean that we can't enjoy "talking season."
Some early spreads on LSU out of Vegas:
LSU -7 over Wisconsin: Sounds about right. This will be a close game at a neutral site but LSU should be able to win with great defense and a solid running game.
LSU -12 over Miss. State: The last 7 games between the teams in Tiger Stadium have ended with an average final score of 39-17. I will let you figure out the rest.
LSU +6.5 at Auburn: Will be very tough game for LSU to win. By the time of the game, Auburn should be on a 12 game home winning streak. While LSU is 6-1 versus Auburn since 2007, the Baton Rouge Tigers are only 4-7 at Auburn since the inception of divisional play.
LSU -9 at Florida: Of all the spreads, this one really caught my eye. Obviously the odds makers don't think much of Florida this year. I would be very curious to see the last time LSU was favored like this in Gainesville...if ever.
LSU -7.5 over Ole Miss: This game has been VERY close in the Miles era.
LSU +2.5 vs. Alabama: Looks like the experts in Vegas think more of LSU than I do. A lot will change before this game, but the Tigers are getting serious respect here.
LSU -14 at Arkansas: Possible trap game? Naaa.
LSU -5 at Texas A&M: Bring out the Turkeys. Has LSU ever played on Thanksgiving Day?
Despite the fact that Miss. State, Ole Miss and A&M are all trendier picks than LSU, the Tigers are favored in all three games. From 2011-2013, LSU was favored 34 times, the Tigers won 31 of those games.

I was reading a column last week and some people down in the SEC think that Miss State could have a shot at a 10 win season this year ... That game, LSU-Miss State might be tougher than usual.
