Earlier today, we posted that the school taking the most Under action on its win total for the 2022 college football season at Caesars Sportsbook was Texas (down to 8.5). On the flip side, bettors are quite optimistic about Brian Kelly's first year at LSU. No team is taking heavier Over action (or overall action) than the Tigers at 7 wins with 91.7% of the tickets and 82.5% of the handle.
LSU finished 6-7 last season under Ed Orgeron and Brad Davis and was a combined 11-12 in two seasons sinc e winning the 2019 national title in dominant fashion.
Kelly has yet to say who his starting quarterback will be this year between Arizona State transfer Jayden Daniels and redshirt freshman Garrett Nussmeier. Daniels started 29 games at ASU and threw for 6,024 yards with 45 total touchdowns. Nussmeier has never started a collegiate game but did see the field a bit last year for the Tigers. Another potential contender, Myles Brennan, decided to retire from football.
Whoever lines up under center, he will have one of the nation's top wideouts in Kayshon Boutte, who was named first-team preseason All-American by the Associated Press. In six games in 2021, Boutte caught 38 passes for 509 yards and nine touchdowns.
