North Carolina Tar Heels vs. LSU Tigers @Georgia Dome, Atlanta, GA: Saturday, September 4: 8:00 p.m. ABC
College Football Betting Lines:
North Carolina: +1 ½
LSU: -1 ½
The first Saturday of the season will end with one of the most intriguing college football picks of the day: Mighty LSU of the SEC will kickoff against upstart North Carolina, Who’ve you got?
For LSU, if things are to improve, quarterback Jordan Jefferson needs to be better. Behind Jefferson, this passing offense finished just 97th in college football last season (181.8 yards per game).
Things won’t be easy against North Carolina, and against a swarming defense that returns nine starters off a unit that allowed just 16.9 points a game (13th in college football) in 2009. Of course UNC’s offense wasn’t anything to write home about last year either, scoring just 24 points a game. Will they be better in 2010?
They will be.
Look for this game to be low scoring, and come down to the fourth quarter. However, with LSU’s defense having to replace several starters, North Carolina will do just enough to get this victory.
The Pick: North Carolina +1 ½
