Many Twitter users have pointed out that LSU is favored in every game so far this season. In Week 1 (not part of the games of the year list), the Tigers are 10-point favorites against Wisconsin in the game at Lambeau Field in Green Bay. The Bayou Bengals look to be favored in all the games that follow, including the Nov. 5 showdown with defending national champion Alabama.
