BATON ROUGE, La. – Following one of the most controversial moves in college football history with Lane Kiffin leaving Ole Miss for LSU, oddsmakers are loving the Tigers heading into the 2026-27 season.
LSU sits competitively on multiple odds boards on college football prop betting sites, including the National Championship and SEC Championship.

- National Championship: +2200
- SEC Championship: +700
- Win Total: 8.5
- Make CFP: +145
LSU’s odds at Louisiana prop betting sites should not come as a surprise, as Lane Kiffin’s roster in his first year on the sidelines is estimated to be in the $40 million range. Looking at who’s on the roster and the talent that was brought in through the transfer portal (43 players), it makes complete sense with their fifth-ranked portal class.
Offensive Transfers
Highlighting the offensive transfers is 5-star transfer QB Sam Leavitt from Arizona State, followed by four-star additions in OT Jordan Seaton and receivers Jayce Brown, Jackson Harris, and Eugene Wilson.
Not to mention, LSU’s offense is already loaded with talent in tight end Trey’Dez Green (Mackey Award watch) and running back Caden Durham, who many peg as a breakout star this season.
Defensive Transfers
Defensively, edge rushers Jordan Ross and Princewill Umanmielen, and safety Ty Benefield are the key names. This was already a top-5 defense in the SEC last year, with key starters in Whit Weeks, DJ Pickett, and Dashawn Spears all returning starters.
Lane Wins Everywhere
Let’s not overlook the credibility that Lane Kiffin brings to the table, either. As unconventional as he is, Kiffin has won everywhere he’s gone. In 14 years as a head coach, Kiffin finished with a .500 record or above 13 times for a career coaching record of 116-53.
In his most recent stint at Ole Miss for six years, he went 55-19 and finished at a top-15 team four times, with a College Football Playoff appearance last season to show for it.
