The Early Betting Lines: LSU Football vs. Western Kentucky Hilltoppers in Week 13

The LSU Tigers (6-4, 3-4 SEC) will return to action on Saturday night for "Senior Night" in Baton Rouge with the program set to square off against the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers.

After snapping a three-game losing skid in Week 12 with a win over the Arkansas Razorbacks, the Bayou Bengals' morale continues growing under interim coach Frank Wilson.

Quarterback Michael Van Buren earned his first start as a Tiger in place of an injured Garrett Nussmeier where he unlocked a different element for the offense.

"It just feels great. My guys had my back the whole day, so it's an unbelievable feeling getting my first win in Tiger Stadium. [The SEC] is a hard place to get wins in. Going out there and fighting adversity to get the first win feels amazing," Van Buren said on Saturday.

Van Buren ended the day going 21-for-31 with 221 yards and a touchdown to lift the Tigers to a win on Saturday afternoon.

Now, with Week 13 arriving, the early betting lines have been revealed with the LSU Tigers entering the matchup as three-touchdown favorites against the Hilltoppers in Death Valley.

A look into the game information, early betting lines and Wilson's take on Michael Van Buren's first start for LSU.
