Despite being blown out in the national title game just five months ago, LSU has "enjoyed" an offseason as the 2012 favorite to win it all in Miami next January. The earliest betting line we know of, courtesy of gambling web site Beyond The Bets, has just been released for the entire SEC schedule. Not surprisingly, the Tigers are predicted to go 8-0 in conference play, and will have a three-point edge at home against Alabama in November:
Week 4: LSU (-7.5) vs. Auburn
Week 6: LSU (-4) vs. Florida
Week 7: South Carolina vs. LSU (-10)
Week 8: LSU (-11.5) vs. Texas A&M
Week 10: Alabama vs. LSU (-3)
Week 11: Mississippi State vs. LSU (-20)
Week 12: Ole Miss vs. LSU (-31)
Week 13: LSU (-3.5) vs. Arkanasas
