LSU was initially listed as a heavy favorite in what should be a tune-up game on Saturday against New Mexico.
Coach Danny Gonzales’ team comes in with a 2-1 record, touting wins over Maine and UTEP with a 31-14 division loss to Boise State to kick off Mountain West competition in Week 2. The Tigers were initially listed as a 29.5-point favorite, but since Monday, that line has grown even further in their favor.
Brian Kelly’s team is now listed as a 31.5-point favorite on Saturday night. The money lines haven’t changed, but the over/under decreased by a point-and-a-half.
Here’s where the betting odds sit at 11:30 a.m. CT on Wednesday, per BetMGM.
| Team | Spread | Total – O/U | Money Line |
| New Mexico | +31.5 -110 |
O 45.5 -110 |
