LSU vs Texas A&M Prediction
Texas A&M has been the more impressive team up to this point, and being at home helps, but we’ve also seen the Aggies lose twice in the favorite role in their last 10 games. LSU has the offensive firepower to give Texas A&M a run and does have a road win already this season. LSU is also 6-3 ATS in its last 9 games. The road team has won 6 of the last 9 games between Texas A&M and LSU. I’ll take a stab with the free points and LSU on the road.
