LSU is a 6.5-point road favorite at College Station at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. Steady action has come in on LSU early in the week to move the line from its opening spot of LSU -4 on the road.
Going off as a 14-point favorite at home against the Florida Gators, the Tigers couldn’t get anything going on offense and lost 16-10 after being stuffed on the goal line in the final play of the game. The loss was LSU’s second in three weeks, bringing the team’s record down to 6-4 SU and 4-6 ATS on the season.
The Tigers’ rushing attack should have a favorable assignment this week against the Aggies, who rank 75th in rushing defense allowing 179.7 yards per game.
The Tigers are just 4-7 SU and 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games on the road against SEC opponents per the OddsShark College Football Database.
Betting Line / Total: LSU -6.5 / 48.5 Points
Trend: LSU is 5-0 SU and ATS in its last five games against Texas A&M.
Trend: Texas A&M is 0-7 ATS in its last seven games.
Texas A&M was firmly in the playoff conversation at 6-0 SU and 4-2 ATS, and even after losing to Alabama was still ranked No. 4 in the College Football Playoff rankings.
But with two losses as a favorite of a touchdown or more against Mississippi State and Mississippi, Texas A&M’s stock has dropped considerably. The Aggies are still a respectable 8-3 SU on the season, but have failed to cover the spread in each of their last seven games.
Thursday night’s total is set at 48.5 points. The UNDER is 4-0 in the last four games between these two teams.
The struggles of these two teams down the stretch has taken some of the luster off this game, but it should still be a good one between two of the best teams in the SEC. LSU has won 36 of its last 40 games coming off a loss, including an impressive 38-10 road win over Arkansas after a home loss to Alabama.
Texas A&M is 0-4 SU and 1-3 ATS in its last four games as a home underdog.
