LSU vs Texas A&M Injury Report
Texas A&M doesn’t have a player listed on its injury report. LSU will be without Tyrell Ward and Jalen Reed, while Vyctorius Miller and Corey Chest are questionable.
LSU vs Texas A&M Prediction
Texas A&M is the better team and should be favored, but this line is a bit steep. While LSU has had its troubles, the Tigers are at home where 11 of their 14 wins have come. Also, let’s not act like Texas A&M is lighting the world on fire, as it was riding a four-game losing streak before beating an Auburn team that wasn’t at full strength. Don’t forget Texas A&M recently losing at home to Vanderbilt as an eight-point favorite. It’s senior night for an LSU roster that has a lot of experienced players. If there was ever a game for LSU to put together one last decent effort, this would be it. I’ll take a stab with LSU and the points at home.
