Joel Klatt Reveals His Pick For LSU vs. Vanderbilt

During his show this week, Fox Sports College Football analyst Joel Klatt previewed LSU's matchup at Vanderbilt on Saturday.

Vandy is a slight 2.5-point favorite in Saturday's matchup, but Klatt expects LSU to win outright. Per SDS:

“We don’t see this often,” Klatt said on The Joel Klatt Show. “In fact, maybe ever. I don’t think there’s any game that I can think of. We asked our research department, and they’re like, ‘We went back to the 1970s and can’t find a game in a ranked matchup that Vanderbilt was favored.'”

While the Commodores are the favorite in the game, Klatt sees the road underdog LSU getting the win.

“A loss to Vanderbilt on the road in a ranked matchup would not be a good look,” Klatt said. “Again, Vanderbilt is favored by 2.5. I like LSU. The matchup, to me, is good for LSU because of their athleticism on defense. LSU wins this one, 20-17.”
