Why Baylor can cover
The Bears are one of the hottest teams in the country, winners of six straight. In Baylor’s 45-17 win over Kansas on Nov. 30, quarterback Sawyer Robertson put on a show by throwing for 310 yards and four touchdowns. Baylor also had tremendous success on the ground against the Jayhawks, rushing for 293 total yards. Running back Bryson Washington recorded 28 carries for 192 yards and two touchdowns.
LSU will be several key contributors in this matchup, including much of the offensive line. The Tigers will be missing starting tackles Will Campbell and Emery Jones Jr., along with tight end Mason Taylor and wide receiver Kyren Lacy, who are all moving on to the NFL Draft. In addition, Baylor is 6-0 against the spread during its six-game winning streak and 13-3 ATS in its last 16 games played in December. See which team to pick here.
Why LSU can cover
LSU’s offense appeared to find some rhythm in its win over Oklahoma in the regular season finale. The Tigers were led by quarterback Garrett Nussmeier, who threw for 277 yards and three touchdowns and will play in this game after announcing his return for his senior season. For the season, Nussmeier has thrown for 3,739 yards, 26 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.
Freshman running back Caden Durham was extremely effective down the stretch for the Tigers. He finished with at least 80 rushing yards in two of his last three games and averaged 5.1 yards carry during that three-game stretch. Durham also became the first LSU player with three rushing scores in a game since 2022 in LSU’s 34-10 win over Arkansas. Defensively, the Tigers are giving up 20.3 points per game over their last three contests. See which team to pick here.
