LSU at Texas A&M picks and predictions

foresight

LSU 30, Texas A&M 27

Moneyline

LSU leads the all-time series 36-23-3. LSU’s dominance includes a 7-game winning streak from 2011-17, but the last 6 meetings have been a 3-3 split with the home team winning all 6. LSU won last season’s contest in Baton Rouge 42-30 , covering as a -10.5 favorite.

With A&M outscored at Mississippi State last Saturday and 2 other recent results (Sept. 21 vs. Bowling Green, Sept. 28 vs. Arkansas) unimpressive, there are enough questions that point to the Aggies being vulnerable in this spot. And the A&M-run-1st offense doesn’t catch up to an LSU deficiency in pass defense.

LSU’s defense is terrible at allowing explosive running plays, but putting up those types of runs isn’t a hallmark of the Aggies’ offense.

It all adds up to a flow of play that gives the Tigers a legitimate chance to win. They were already steamed from +115 to -105 Saturday morning. Stay with LSU -105.

Against the spread

ML offers more value than a 1 point loss insurance policy.

PASHA.

Over/Under

The Over has scored in each of the last 3 Tigers-Aggies games.

Expect the visitors to play high-volume ball and look for a lot of passes — probably more than A&M wants — on a good-weather night at Kyle Field. It is reasonable to expect some disastrous two-way plays and short field opportunities in the flow of the game and Over 54.5 (-110) she is slightly weak.
