No. 5/6 LSU is considered a 10-point favorite by most sportsbooks heading into Saturday's season opener against Wisconsin at Lambeau Field.
Despite having to travel to Wisconsin for the game, the VegasInsider.com consensus - which takes a look at several sportsbooks in Las Vegas - is in favor of the Tigers.
Only one sportsbook - the MGM Mirage - didn't have LSU as a 10-point favorite. Of course, the Mirage does have LSU as a 9.5-point favorite instead.
Since the line was first put up in mid-May, LSU hasn't dipped below an 8.5-point favorite on the consensus.
The over/under on the game started at 48.5 two weeks ago but has steadily dropped to 44.5 points.
When LSU played Wisconsin in Houston two seasons ago in the season opener, the game kicked off with the Tigers as a 3.5 or 4-point favorite on most books. LSU won that game 28-24.
