(21) LSU<\/strong><\/p>\n

After Zach Lee decided to leave LSU to pitch for the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Tigers start their season in a bit of disarray.<\/p>\n

Turns out Jordan Jefferson will return at quarterback after all. But will LSU fans be happy about that?<\/p>\n

Jefferson\u2019s arm lacks accuracy \u2013 though he didn\u2019t get punished a ton for it last year, throwing just seven interceptions versus 17 touchdown passes. Still, if LSU wants to be taken seriously as a national contender, it will need more from the quarterback position.<\/p>\n

And Jefferson will be hard-pressed to improve behind a line that returns just two starters this year.<\/p>\n

On Saturday night, LSU, as usual, will rely on its strong defense to win. The Tigers have speed and aggression on their defensive line and will do their best to pressure mediocre UNC quarterback TJ Yates. [soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n

(18) North Carolina<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Tar Heels are a popular sleeper in college football betting this season. After all, they return 18 starters, nine on each side of the ball. Their defense looks be a major strength this year; it already cracked the national top 15 in every major defensive statistical category last season.<\/p>\n

Some bettors believe UNC has never fielded a better defense than it will starting this Saturday at the Georgia Dome.<\/p>\n

But the question on everyone\u2019s mind is how either of these two defensively sound teams will put points on the board. UNC isn\u2019t really equipped to light it up, either. Yates was barely good enough to keep coach Butch Davis\u2019 confidence last season, throwing for just 2,136 yards and 15 interceptions versus 14 touchdowns.<\/p>\n

You can bet LSU will throw everything it has at him this Saturday.<\/p>\n

UNC @ LSU Wagering Trends<\/strong><\/p>\n

The total has gone OVER in 13 of LSU’s last 18 games on the road
\nLSU is 10-4 SU in its last 14 games
\nThe total has gone UNDER in 6 of LSU’s last 9 games
\nLSU is 12-6 SU in its last 18 games on the road
\nNorth Carolina is 5-2 SU in its last 7 games at home
\nNorth Carolina is 4-2 SU in its last 6 games<\/p>\n

LSU vs. UNC Free Pick: <\/strong><\/p>\n

Especially since it\u2019s played at a neutral site, this game feels like a coin flip. Two strong defenses, two sputtering offenses, no real home team. It\u2019s no wonder the line is set at a single point at BetUs.com. Because the Tar Heels are so outstanding defensively \u2013 and because I\u2019m not sold on Jefferson as a starter yet \u2013 I\u2019ll lean UNC\u2019s way. Don\u2019t expect a shootout.<\/p>\n

LSU vs North Carolina Prediction: <\/strong>North Carolina 21, LSU 17<\/p>\n
