LSU vs Mississippi State Betting Preview
If you take a look at our College Football Championship Predictions for 2020, you will see that we keep the LSU Tigers in high regard. Even though online sportsbooks are giving pretty long odds on this team, we think they might be able to surprise everyone.
The reason is simple – this team has some sensational players, both in the offense and in the defense. Unfortunately, according to the coach Ogeron, most of those guys have been affected with the COVID-19.
LSU’s COVID-19 Battle
According to Ed Orgeron, who led this team to winning the 2020 National Championship, his boys are struggling with COVID-19. As he put it, most of LSU footballers have had the coronavirus.
Luckily, they’re all young and healthy men, so the disease shouldn’t leave any consequences on them. However, due to this reason, most of them have been out of the training, which may have an impact on their sharpness. That’s something Mississippi State will look to take advantage of.
LSU vs Mississippi State Prediction
The odds are changing as bettors are putting more money on Mississippi State after hearing about the COVID-19 news. Still, LSU remains the favorite in most online sportsbooks, with the odds of about -666.
This is actually good value, considering how good LSU players are. Of course, it all depends on how many of them are going to be available, something which Orgeron refused to disclose. Still, we do have faith in this team, so our advice is to bet on the home team. If you find the moneyline odds too short, feel free to bet on the spread, as long as it’s reasonable. By reasonable, we mean up to -15.
