The Auburn Tigers hit the road to meet the LSU Tigers in a clash of two SEC West teams. It was a slow start for LSU, losing their opening game to UCLA. But, they did well to bounce back and collect three straight victories, with the most recent one being a narrow 28 to 25 victory against Mississippi State. Meanwhile, the Auburn Tigers have the same win-loss record, collecting wins against Akron, Alabama State, and Georgia State. It’s been a good weekend for LSU after they took down Georgia State 34 to 24.

Why Bet on the Auburn Tigers?

Auburn defended their home-field well against the Panthers last week. In their winning efforts, the team found 419 total yards. Despite falling behind their opponents by 101 yards in rushing, head coach Bryan Harsin found ways to give his team the edge. Bo Nix finished his shift with 156 yards on 13/27 passing. Quarterback T.J.

Finley spared no time in his return, recording 97 yards on 9-of-16 passing and a touchdown. Kobe Hudson and Shedrick Jackson led the receiving end with 76 and 76 yards, respectively, while Jackson added a touchdown on 4 receptions. Moreover, Jarquez Hunter and Cartavious Bigsby introduced more balance to Auburn’s offense. Hunter recorded a team-high 62 yards on 10 carries while Bigsby rushed for 60 yards on 18 carries.

Taking a look at how Auburn performed defensively, it was Chandler Wooten who played the focal point that night. The linebacker had 12 tackles (6 solo), while Colby Wooden followed closely with 8 tackles (5 solo). Eku Leota and Donovan Kaufman had 1 sack each and the duo of Derrick Hall and T.D. Moultry shared a sack assist. Smoke Monday is the only player to produce an interception for the team.

Why Bet on the LSU Tigers?

The Tigers escaped Mississippi State with a 3-point win last Saturday. In their winning efforts, it’s tough to see how they escaped the wrath of the Bulldogs. LSU trailed by over 140 total yards and over 50 rushing yards. Their opponents also outperformed them in passing. Nonetheless, the Tigers kept their heads down and produced a victory by the final whistle.

Max Johnson was the highlight player of the game, ending his night with 280 yards on 17-of-27 passing, 4 touchdowns, and an interception. The quarterback enjoyed the services of wide receiver Kayshon Boutte, who listed a team-high 85 yards and 2 touchdowns on 4 receptions. Trey Palmer and Kole Taylor also had one touchdown apiece and combined for 99 yards.

Defensively, Damone Clark spearheaded the side with 15 tackles (8 solo) that night. Cameron Lewis was second best with 6 tackles (5 solo), while Ali Gaye had 6 tackles (4 solo) and the only sack of the night. In addition, Cordale Flott provided some more reinforcement with 8 tackles (4 solo) and the only defensive interception of LSU.

Having a three-game winning streak puts LSU in a favorable position coming into the game. Put that together with four straight games where the team scored 25 points and above in each one makes this squad a threat.
