Texas A&M vs LSU Prediction
The Texas A&M Aggies have failed to cover 8 of their last 10 games, and they’re 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games as a home favorite. However, we’re not getting enough points to pull the trigger with LSU. While Texas A&M and LSU have caught fire since early season losses, I trust the Aggies defense more and Weigman is finally starting to play to what people expected to see this season. Kyle Field often makes the difference for Texas A&M, and I’d simply need more points to go on the other side. Give me Texas A&M for a big conference win and a rare cover.
