Texas A&M vs LSU Prediction

The Texas A&M Aggies are coming off two tough losses, but they’re at home, where they’re 8-1 SU on the season. Texas A&M has also still covered seven of its last 10 games. The LSU Tigers haven’t had a lot of success on the road, and they’ve allowed 70 or more points in eight of their last 10 games. This is a spot where Texas A&M should be comfortable offensively for once, as we know what the defense is capable of most nights. Texas A&M is 25th in defensive field goal percentage. LSU feels like a team heading in the wrong direction. I’ll lay the points with Texas A&M at home.
