In the battle of the Tigers, what hope does Auburn (5-2, 3-1 SEC) have against the top-ranked LSU (7-0, 4-0 SEC) really? None? Some? If football betting market reactions and popular opinion are anything to go by, the former is probably true.
The LSU Tigers are rolling this season, undefeated in seven games by a considerable average margin of over 26 points. The defense hasn’t been lazy either, stacking impressive numbers including holding opponents to just 7.8 points per game. No surprise then that they are the heavy faves to win and that most bettors expect them to win.
Bearing in mind that this is effectively a clash between the top-ranked team and the reigning national champions, you’d think Auburn would be given a bit more consideration. Two things have hurt them this season: their inconsistent form and the fact that Cam Newton is no longer there to lead them to glory.
SEC Football Online Pick: This game is LSU’s to win, hands down. However, we don’t believe Auburn will go down without a fight. Therefore, we expect LSU to be forced to work hard to win a surprisingly tight game.
Pick: LSU Straight Up, Auburn to Cover
