The matchup
LSU's last five tell a streaky story. The Tigers blanked Mississippi State Bulldogs 31-0 in week seven, but that followed a 34-35 loss to Kentucky Wildcats the week before. Before that stretch LSU hammered McNeese Cowboys 63-14 and Texas A&M Aggies 35-6, with a 24-32 loss to Ole Miss Rebels mixed in earlier. The scoreboard swings have been wide all season, and LSU has outscored opponents 283 to 111 across its games.
Auburn's path has had its own ups and downs. The Tigers knocked off Georgia Bulldogs 27-24 on the road in week seven to snap into their current streak, after dropping a 14-24 decision to Tennessee Volunteers. Auburn also beat Vanderbilt Commodores 21-15 and lost 39-44 to Florida Gators, with a 43-8 win over Southern Miss Golden Eagles in the mix too. Auburn has been outscored by a tighter margin overall, 161 points for against 131 against.
Key matchups
This one likely comes down to whether Auburn's defense, which has allowed 131 points on the season, can slow down an LSU offense that has piled up 283. LSU's capacity to blow games open, like the 63-14 and 31-0 results show, puts real pressure on Auburn to keep drives alive and avoid falling behind early.
On the other side, Auburn's offense has managed 161 points against a schedule that has included a win over Georgia, and LSU's defense has given up 111 on the year. If Auburn can move the ball the way it did against Georgia, it keeps this closer than the number on the scoreboard might suggest for most of LSU's games this season.
The pick
The market has LSU Tigers favored by 7.0 points with a total of 51.5, and a market score of LSU 29, Auburn 22. That lines up with the shape of each team's season: LSU can score in bunches, while Auburn has shown it can hang with ranked competition but has also had its offense held down. The edge here goes to LSU, simply because its offense has been more explosive and its average scoring margin bigger across the year.
