Betting on the LSU Tigers 4-2 (+7)

The LSU Tigers are looking to make it two straight conference wins as they host the Auburn Tigers and their fast paced offense. The Tigers will need to fix a lot of problems on their defensive side as they nearly let a 17-3 lead slip away against the Florida Gators. The Auburn Tigers will force LSU into mistakes, as the Tigers cannot let Auburn run the show once again.

If the Tigers had an offensive showcase against the Gators as they put up 341 total yards in almost 34 minutes of work. LSU also had zero turnovers on the day which will be important against Auburn.
