DraftKings has set lines for seven of LSU's games: LSU is favored in six of the seven games:

Week 1
LSU vs. USC in Las Vegas
Tigers favored by 6 points

Week 7
Ole Miss vs. LSU in Tiger Stadium
Tigers favored by 2.5 points

Week 8
LSU at Arkansas in Fayetteville
Tigers favored by 9 points

Week 9
LSU at Texas A&M in College Station
Aggies favored by 3 points

Week 11
Alabama vs. LSU in Tiger Stadium
Tigers favored by 1 point

Week 12
LSU at Florida in Gainesville
Tigers favored by 5.5 points

Week 14
Oklahoma vs. LSU in Tiger Stadium
Tigers favored by 5 points

DraftKings


LSU should be favored in the remaining five games:

Week 2
NIcholls vs. LSU in Tiger Stadium

Week 3
LSU at South Carolina in Columbia

Week 4
UCLA vs. LSU in Tiger Stadium
[LSU is favored by 6 over USC; USC is favored by 4.5 over UCLA]

Week 5
South Alabama vs. LSU in Tiger Stadium

Week 13
Vanderbilt vs. LSU in Tiger Stadium


A reasonable prediction would be that LSU goes 11-1.

Let me preface this by saying, first, I’m mostly optimistic about this year’s team. I think the defense improves tremendously with better scheme & coaching, and I think our offense will take a step back but still be able to compete with anyone we play.

That being said, 11-1 is nowhere near a reasonable expectation with those spreads. Being favored in 11 games does not mean that winning all 11 of those games is the most likely outcome.

If you play 10 games as a favorite with 70% win probability in each, the most likely outcome statistically is 7-3, not 10-0.

Just pointing out a statistical gripe I have with using chalk to project win totals.
