LSU is entering this game with a 5-2 record overall and they have a 4-1 record in their conference games too. They are 3-0 in their home games, 2-1 in their road games, and they are also 0-1 in their neutral site games this season, but they will be at home for this game.

The current betting odds have LSU listed as a 30 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. LSU is 5-2 this season and they are 4-1 in their conference games as they still have a chance to run the table and get into the SEC Championship. Their defense hasn't been great as they do give up a lot of points but their offense has been really good as they do score a ton of points in their games too. They are at home for this game against Army who is 2-4 overall this season and Army has struggled a lot in their last few games. Their offense hasn't been good as they are struggling to put up points in their games with their new style of offense and now their starting QB is dealing with an injury too. Army doesn't have the passing offense to take advantage of this bad LSU defense and they won't be able to keep up in points with the LSU offense as LSU will eventually pull away in this game. The best way to place a bet here is on LSU to cover the spread in this game. 

Army LSU Prediction:  Our NCAAF Pick for Saturday, October 21, 2023 (7:30 pm ET start time) is LSU 56 Army 10.

"Well, I mean, got to play better. We're two and four. We are who we are. We're a 2-and-4 football team. We've had some chances in some other games to maybe have a different result, but didn't make the plays. Didn't play good enough. Got to make the plays. That's that.” - Jeff Monken after his team’s loss against Troy in their last game. 

“It’s just incredible offensive production — throwing it, catching it, running it and the offensive line; pretty impressive stuff. We need to continue to improve on the defensive side of the ball and continue the consistency from the offensive standpoint. But, I’ll put this team up against anybody in the league right now.” - Brian Kelly after his team’s win against Auburn in their last game.
