Randy’s Free Pick

LSU wins this game because of its high-powered offense, but let’s not act like Texas A&M is a complete pushover, especially defensively. Texas A&M is eighth in total defense, 16th against the run and pass, and they’re 26th in scoring defense. LSU scores by the boatload, but the defense can struggle, as it’s 106th in total defense and 87th in scoring defense. I don’t love double-digit chalk with teams that have issues getting stops. Also, we can’t forget that Texas A&M is 9-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings against LSU. This line feels a little inflated. I’ll take my chances with Texas A&M and the points.
