Because people are betting on TCU
No one is betting on TCU. On SportsBook the action is listed as 96% LSU and 4% TCU.

They're just trying to get equal action on both teams
Then they need to raise the spread to about 10.

Lines don't move based on public action. They move based on sharp action.
This means the public is pounding LSU(not a surprise) but the sharp/smart/high roller money is coming in on TCU to keep the line around 3.5-4.5.
If a bunch of sharps/wise guys come in and pound the LSU line it will move.
It could also be a trap line, with books themselves gambling on a TCU cover which would be a giant score for the books. A big risk, but high return.

Vegas knows something we don't if this is true.
