LSU at Texas A&M picks and predictions

forecast

LSU 30, Texas A&M 27

Money line

LSU leads the all-time series 36-23-3. LSU's dominance includes a 7-game winning streak from 2011 to 2017, but the last 6 meetings have resulted in a 3-3 draw, with the home team winning in all 6 games. LSU won last season's contest in Baton Rouge 42-30, covering as a top -10.5 favorite.

With A&M coming off a loss at Mississippi State last Saturday and two other recent results (Sept. 21 vs. Bowling Green, Sept. 28 vs. Arkansas) being unimpressive, there are enough questions to suggest the Aggies are vulnerable at this point. And A&M's run-1st attack doesn't result in LSU's deficit in pass defense.

The LSU defense is terrible at allowing explosive run plays, but attempting those types of runs is not a hallmark of the Aggies offense.

This all translates into a flow of the game that gives the Tigers a real chance of winning. They were already bumped from +115 to -105 on Saturday morning. Stick with it LSU-105.

Against the spread

The ML offers more value than 1-point insurance.

HAPPEN.

Over/Under

The Over has won money in each of the last three Tigers-Aggies games.

Expect the visitors to play a lot of ball and pass a lot on a nice weather night at Kyle Field – probably more than A&M wants. It is certainly to be expected that during the game there will be devastating moves on both sides and opportunities at close range OVER 54.5 (-110) is a slight inclination.
