Large spreads are always tricky, but LSU is a high-scoring team, and even if they sit many of their starters in the second half, the Tigers should be able to cover this spread.

Key Storyline:

No major injuries for the Tigers.

BCS/Top 25 Implications:

There isn't anything LSU can gain from a win against Western Kentucky, who is a very weak opponent. A loss would be disastrous for LSU's BCS title hopes, but that won't happen.

Western Kentucky Player To Watch:

Running back Bobby Rainey has 1,169 yards rushing yards and nine touchdowns this season, and could be the only player LSU has to stop on Saturday.

LSU Player To Watch:

Quarterback Jarrett Lee has played well this season and has only thrown three interceptions. He will have a great day against the Hilltoppers on Saturday.

Key Matchup:

The LSU defensive line versus the WK offensive line will be an important matchup for the Hilltoppers. Stopping the Tigers' pass-rush will be crucial to their success this week.

On the Hot Seat:

No one is on the hot seat for either side. LSU will dominate Western Kentucky, and nobody expects anything different.

Prediction: LSU 63, WKU 7

The Tigers will dominate this matchup against Western Kentucky as expected and will look forward to their SEC matchup against Ole Miss on Nov. 19.
