Lee Sterling picks LSU-South Carolina winner

Each week during the football season, professional sports bettor Lee Sterling of Paramount Sports joins Matt Moscona on “After Further Review” to preview the biggest games of the football weekend.  Here is his prediction for LSU at South Carolina on Saturday:

I think (South Carolina) coached fairly well, that’s number one. I think they play better when they’re an underdog, so they’re going to be fired up.  We hear about this LSU defensive line every year, how how great they are.  Now, they’ve lost one of their starters for the season. So with Guillory out, that depletes them a little bit. They’re playing at home. I’m going to say LSU wins the game 24-21. They do need some short fields to score. They’re not going 75, 80 yards against this defense. But you know, we’ve seen stranger things. Their special teams have been OK.  I’ll take the points.

The pick: LSU 24, South Carolina 21 (+6.5)
