LSU vs Texas A&M Prediction
Texas A&M is the better team and should be favored, as I have questions about that LSU offense that can’t run the ball and doesn’t finish drives. LSU has also lost two of its three biggest games this season. I get it. However, we’re getting points with LSU at home in a night game, possibly the toughest spot in all of college football.
LSU has outright won 6 of its last 9 home games as an underdog. LSU is 8-4-1 ATS in its last 13 home games as an underdog. Some spots are just tough to turn down, regardless of what everything else says. Give me the points with LSU at home.
