LSU is one of the best teams in the SEC this season and is vastly superior to the Army Golden Knights in terms of football talent. This game is being played at night in Baton Rouge which is one of the hardest places to play at night.  I look for the Tigers to come away with an easy win and to cover the spread which is why I am buying the .5 point and laying the 32 points with the LSU Tigers when they host the Army Golden Knights on Saturday evening in week 8 of the college football season.
