Auburn vs LSU odds maker breakdown: What’s On The Line
What’s happened to the Auburn Tigers (5-2, 2-2)? They started out 5-2 but have had discouraging back-to-back losses to Arkansas and now Kentucky. The Tigers are in a very tough spot this weekend, and all the positive complements that were directed to Gene Chizik in the first few weeks could turn sour with another loss. Check the starting time for this game – it’s a Saturday night contest. Remember all of those one-sided stats favoring LSU (5-1, 3-1) playing at home on Saturday nights to the tune of 32 wins in their last 33 games? Well, they all apply here. While they couldn’t keep the streak perfect against Florida, look for them to get back on track this weekend. Betting Edge: LSU
Auburn vs LSU odds maker breakdown: Offense
A couple of weeks ago, sportsbook odds makers would have said that the Auburn offense would have the edge, but looking at the situation now, it’s a tough call. The Tigers offense was impressive in their 5-0 start but they have been pitiful in the last two weeks. The Tigers no-huddle offense is hanging their defense out because they aren’t moving the ball and getting first downs like they were before. LSU’s offense is a work in progress, yet they’re better than they showed a couple of weeks ago against Florida. This is still a unit with all-SEC caliber wide receiver in Brandon LaFell, running back Charles Scott and left tackle Ciron Black. They have had two weeks to figure out their offense and they’ll have a much better showing against Auburn. Betting Edge: LSU
Auburn vs LSU odds maker breakdown: Defense
The Tigers defense is quite suspect right now. It’s not a matter of talent - as they do have the SEC playmakers you’d expect - but they are asked to do too much. With the Tigers offense struggling, they are asked to spend too much time on the field, and their breakdowns were evident last week. The Tigers gave up 282 rushing yards to Kentucky and that’s not going to go over well at Death Valley. LSU’s defense has improved as the season has gone on, and they showed their mettle against Florida. They’ve now had two weeks to regroup and figure out how to stop Auburn’s offense, which should be much easier. As a matter of fact, Auburn’s offense has been stopping themselves on their own. LSU’s back seven may be as good as anyone in the SEC and that’s going to be a big hurdle for Auburn. Betting Edge: LSU
