College Football Betting Trends
LSU
The Tigers are 12-3 against the spread in their last 15 games in October and 13-4 ATS in their last 17 SEC games.
Auburn
The Tigers have covered the spread in seven of their last eight overall and in four of their last five following a win.
Prediction:
LSU has won and covered the spread in three of the last four in this series. I like LSU to do it again tonight. Auburn is a good team, but the Tigers are going to be without a big weapon in the backfield and that puts more of the game on Box Nix, who I don’t believe will get the job done. LSU’s offense has been able to score on everyone. It put up 42 on Florida, while the Tigers were held to just 13 by the Gators. LSU might be a team that can win it all and I just don’t see Auburn having the weapons to match them.
