Citrus Bowl LSU vs Purdue Prediction and Odds 2022

Our Citrus Bowl prediction is from The Duel's official LSU vs Purdue betting preview.

Though Purdue has won three of its last four games, two of those victories came against Indiana and Northwestern, who have a 5-19 combined record. As soon as the Boilermakers faced tougher competition in the form of the Wolverines, they collapsed, allowing 386 total yards and six offensive touchdowns.

LSU hasn't been perfect, but it has performed well against noteworthy opponents, picking up wins against both Alabama and Ole Miss this season. Even though the Tigers were steamrolled by the Bulldogs in the SEC Championship, LSU head coach Brian Kelly can take solace in the fact that his team at least put up 549 total yards on one of the nation's top defenses.

It's going to be a hard-fought contest between two hungry teams, but LSU's ability to step up in tough situations leads to me siding with the Tigers in the end.
