LSU is coming off a 56-20 win at home over Arkansas last weekend. The Tigers have won eight of their 11 games by at least 14 points. They have punched their ticket to the SEC Championship already. LSU is 11-0 on the season, 7-0 in the SEC, 6-5 against the spread and 8-3 with the over.
The LSU offense is one of the top offenses in the country, as the Tigers are putting up 48.5 points and 561.4 yards per game. Defensively, LSU is giving up 23. 5points and 362.8 yards per contest. Joe Burrow is a top Heisman candidate. He has thrown for 4,014 yards and 41 touchdowns to lead the offense. Clyde Edwards-Helaire is the leading rusher with 1,146 yards and 15 scores, while Ja’Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson have combined for over 2,250 receiving yards and a combined 27 touchdowns. JaCoby Stevens is leading the defense with 73 tackles, five sacks and two interceptions.
A&M edged by Georgia
Texas A&M is coming off a 19-13 loss at Georgia last weekend. The Aggies had won four straight prior to that. Texas A&M is now 7-4 on the season, 4-3 in the SEC, 7-4 against the spread and 6-5 with the under.
The Aggies have been pretty solid on defense this season, giving up just 20.2 points and 321.7 yards per game. Offensively, Texas A&M is putting up 32.1 points and 420.1 yards per game.

College Football Betting Trends
LSU
The Tigers are just 1-4 against the spread in their last five home games and 2-5 ATS in their last seven games in November.
Texas A&M
The Aggies are 12-5 against the spread in their last 17 against a winning team and 9-4 ATS in their last 13 road games.
Prediction:
LSU has been able to get the best of this series for years. The Tigers have won seven of the last eight in the series while covering the spread in all eight games. I like how Texas A&M has played against some tough teams this year, but the Aggies are going to have their hands full stopping the LSU offense. Only Auburn has been able to slow down LSU this year and A&M has already given up 27 or more to the likes of Auburn, Arkansas, Alabama and Mississippi State. LSU is better offensively than them all. I like the Tigers to continue their offensive surge while its defense gets stops on an average A&M offense.
