Baylor vs. LSU: Prediction
There wasn’t a hotter team in America than the Baylor Bears to finish the second-half of the 2024 season. After a tumultuous 2-4 start, Baylor went into the bye week and fixed a few things on offense and came out humming. Since then, the Bears have gone 6-0 and have won five of those games by double digits. However, this LSU team they’re about to face will be their biggest test yet. There aren’t enough people talking about the Garrett Nussmeier vs. Sawyer Robertson matchup here, but it’ll be must-see TV on New Year’s Eve. Give me the red-hot Bears to eke out a victory in a high-scoring affair.
