LSU vs Texas A&M Best Bet: LSU +118

The Tigers have won six straight since their opening season loss to USC. LSU seems to have found its identity over the last few weeks and has continued to build upon its success on offense. Although Texas A&M has emerged as a threat in the SEC, outlasting a dangerous Tigers offense will be challenging, even with the home crowd behind them.

LSU vs Texas A&M Best Total Bet: Over 53.5

LSU’s offense speaks for itself, averaging 34.1 points per game across their demanding schedule. On the flip side, the Aggies don’t trail far behind, averaging 31.4 points per game. In what has the makings to be a shootout, the 53.5-point total could easily be blown by. A final score of 37-33 could be a realistic outcome.

LSU Best Player Bet: Kyren Lacy Any Time Touchdown +115

Throughout the season, Kyren Lacy has emerged as a top threat in LSU’s offense. The wideout is up to 512 receiving yards and six touchdowns on the season. With the Tigers needing to score points in a hurry against a competitive Texas A&M team, they’ll depend on their offensive playmaker to come up big at some point in this game, which could be caught in the endzone.

Texas A&M Best Player Bet: Le’Veon Moss First Touchdown Scorer +500

Le’Veon Moss has been one of the best running backs in the SEC this season and the nation. The Aggies’ shifty runner is up to 674 receiving yards and eight touchdowns on the season. Considering Texas A&M will look to set the tone early, they may depend on their most reliable playmaker to get into the endzone early as they hope to outpace LSU’s explosive offense.
