4* Cheez-it Citrus Bowl NCAA Betting Final Analysis:
In this Cheez-it Citrus Bowl matchup between LSU and Purdue, look for the Tigers to come away with an easy win and cover the spread. Even though Purdue won the Big 10 West this year, the level of competition in that division is weak. And as we saw in their game vs Michigan, they have a hard time holding up against superior teams. I recommend laying the points with LSU.
