Top Week 4 college football expert predictions

One of Casale's top Week 4 college football picks: He is backing LSU (-24.5) against UCLA on Saturday. After suffering a season-opening loss to USC, LSU cruised to a comfortable 44-21 win over Nicholls State and then had to pull a rabbit out of its hat against South Carolina. The Gamecocks raced out to a 17-0 lead and LSU had to grind out a 36-33 victory in a game where they were favored by 6.5 on the road.

However, the Tigers will get to go back to Baton Rouge this week to take on a struggling UCLA Bruins squad that was just blown out in Pasadena by Indiana. Deshaun Foster's squad barely snuck by Hawaii on the road to open the season and then lost 42-13 last week and hasn't shown many signs of life offensively in his first two games at the helm.

"We knew UCLA was going to be bad entering the season, but the Bruins might be even worse than originally projected. UCLA barely beat a Hawaii team that got blitzed by Sam Houston last week. Look for LSU to get a much needed rocking chair win on Saturday," Casale told SportsLine. See what other picks Casale likes at SportsLine
