LSU (-4.5) over the state of Iowa

The knee-jerk response is to pick up the Cyclones and the points following the recent firing of LSU coach Will Wade. But just three years ago, the Tigers entered the NCAA tournament without Wade — who was suspended for NCAA violations that eventually led to his termination — and made the Sweet 16. You’ll end up kicking yourself if you take the team with less take talent and depth. You’ll see that coaching is only as important when you’ve got an offense like the Cyclones, who are prone to week-long scoring droughts.
