College football records against the spread topped by LSU and Utah

While other teams in the SEC West have overshadowed LSU, the Tigers have been one of the steadiest earners of the season for their backers.

Out of the limelight in the overcrowded SEC West, the LSU Tigers have quietly put together a strong 7-2 SU and ATS campaign through the first nine games of their season. LSU makes this list of some of the best (and worst) ATS teams in the country.

The best

LSU Tigers (7-2 ATS, 7-2 SU) - LSU's 10-7 upset win over the previously undefeated Ole Miss Rebels proved that the Tigers aren't going to finish this season up without a fight. Look for LSU's tough defense to keep the Tigers in important games down the stretch.

Utah Utes (6-1 ATS, 6-1 SU) - The Pac-12's biggest surprise team this season has been the Utah Utes, who picked up another impressive win last Saturday against the USC Trojans. With a physical defense and an offense that never quits, Utah has proven to be a tough out all year. The Utes are a 5.5-point underdog at Arizona State on Saturday at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com.

Western Michigan Broncos (7-1 ATS, 5-3 SU) - Western Michigan at Miami (Ohio) won't be circled on everyone's schedule, but bettors who have been backing the Mustangs all season will likely be on Western Michigan as a 6.5-point road favorite. Western Michigan has been competitive in all of its conference games out in the MAC.

The worst

UCLA Bruins (1-7 ATS, 6-2 SU) - Despite coming into the season as a projected playoff contender, UCLA has been anything but dominant with all but one of its six wins coming by eight points or less. UCLA is a 6.5-point favorite this Saturday hosting Arizona.

Kent State Golden Flashes (2-6 ATS, 1-7 SU) - Kent State averages an abysmal 14.1 points per game. With an offense that simply can't keep up in the high-octane MAC, Kent State struggles to cover the spread on any given week.

Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks (1-6 ATS, 3-4 SU) - Two seasons removed from an 8-5 ATS campaign in 2012, this year's ULM team is averaging only 17.6 points per game. Four of Louisiana-Monroe's last five games come on the road this season where ULM is 0-3 SU and ATS.
