Load up on LSU?

I know LSU has a couple of opt outs but why in the world would they be a 3 point underdog to Houston?  There is a huge talent gap here and then there is the Kiffin factor, whatever that is.  Can someone explain this line to me?  Thanks.  

They can’t score points

Kiffin factor?

I disagree...Houston is motivated, well coached, with their QB returning, and quasi home game...A spring board into a Top 2026 preseason start...Does LSU really want to be there...Assistants looking for jobs and checked out...elite players opting out, declaring for the draft, and/or searching for the best offer in the transfer portal...I think Houston will win by DDs...

See Memphis v. NC State...NC State only favored by 4.5 and dominated for the exact same reasons  state above...

All over UH

This is like the CFB Championship for Houston. Give me a break. Houston has had a great season, and now they get to play LSU. On the other hand, LSU is not motivated to be at this game. You the business with Kiffin coming in. I see an unenthused LSU team playing to them in this meaningless bowl game. I see Houston being hungry and wanting to finish off a good season by beating LSU. Houston is an easy winner in this game if you ask me.
