| LSU TIGERS | +125 |
| TEXAS A&M AGGIES | -140 |
Texas A&M has been on a roll this season, as they have mantained undefeated and ranked 3rd in the nation. However, they need to show up and get their first win ever at Tiger's Stadium to continue their streak. They have had 6 chances in the past to get a win here but have yet to do so.
Their QB Marcel Reed has been on a tear this season with 15 TDs and 1,770 Passing Yards. He has connected great with his star WR Mario Craver, with 36 receptions and 4 TDs. They are currently 4-0 in the conference, whereas LSU is 2-2.
LSU is on a must-win situation if they want to keep their playoff hopes alive. They have lost 2 out of their last 3 games and have fallen in rankings bigtime. They are coming of a tough loss to the Commodores but still have a chance to silence critics with a win. They rely on their past success in this stadium so they will need to go the extra mile for this one.
The odds have LSU as slight underdogs at +2.5, so this promises to be a close game. Their QB Garrett Nussmeier, will really need to step up with some big plays to get the crowd going. LSU's two losses this year came against two good teams, so a statement win against the Aggies will be huge.
The odds are favoring the undefeated Aggies at -2.5 with an over/under of 50.5. The money line for the Aggies is -145, making the LSU Tigers +125. Both teams will be offesnvie this weekend but will rely on tough defense to cancel out their opponents.
Our pick for this match is to favor the Aggies on the spread. They have been tremendous this season and we feel they are bound to get their first win at this stadium. It will be a tough match, but their star power will look to mantain undefeated.
