LSU have not been playing well at all in their recent games losing 2 straight games and 5 of their last 6. They desperately need a bounce back game here and luckily they are getting a Vanderbilt team that has not been great this season and LSU should come away with a much needed win here. LSU has not been playing great though and Vanderbilt has been keeping their recent games close so they should put up a fight in this game at home. LSU will get their bounce back win here but it will not be by much as Vanderbilt will play them hard and give them a scare in this game.
