Date: Sunday, September 4, 2022
Time: 7:30 p.m. ET
Venue: Caesars Superdome — New Orleans, LA

Week 1 of the 2022 NCAA college football season includes a showdown between the Florida State Seminoles and LSU Tigers in the Allstate Louisiana Kickoff. This will be LSU's first game under new head coach Brian Kelly, who has yet to reveal the Tigers starting quarterback for Sunday night.

Meanwhile, Florida State go their season started in August by taking down Duquesne by a score of 47-7. The Seminoles are in the midst of four straight losing seasons, though, so the pressure is on head coach Mike Norvell to turn things around. Grabbing a win here would be the perfect first step.

Florida State vs LSU Prediction & Pick

Don't be surprised if this game comes down to the fourth quarter or even the final drive. These teams stack up well, but keep in mind this is essentially a home game for the Tigers. If QB Jayden Daniels is named the starter, his mobility could keep Florida State's defense guessing from play to play as well.

One key matchup sticks out in this game. The Seminoles had three players rush for over 100 yards and average over nine yards per carry last week. On the other side, LSU's linebacker core doesn't have a household name yet. Look for someone to step up when it matters the most and shut FSU down.

Final Score Prediction: Florida State: 24 | LSU: 28

A loss out of the gate for Kelly would be a disastrous start to his head coaching tenure. He knows that the country is looking for him to get the Tigers back to the College Football Playoffs sooner than later. The good news is that LSU has dominated the ACC, winning its last five games against the conference.

Florida State is just 1-4 in its last five matchups against the SEC conference. The Seminoles allowed 232.4 passing yards per game in 2021 (No. 70 in FBS) and now have to face the nation's best wide receiver in Keyshone Boutte. Look for him to be the difference-maker and help LSU cover the spread.

Bet: LSU -3.5 (+102)
