My best Texas A&M vs. LSU prediction and early picks based on opening odds focus on the clear offensive advantage Texas A&M has entering Saturday’s 7:30 p.m. ET (ABC) game at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, La.

Texas A&M is a 2.5-point betting favorite. One of the most popular early college football picks is Texas A&M to cover (63%), and I agree with the public despite LSU’s unbeaten home record this season. For more on this game, check out our college football predictions for Week 9.

🤠 Texas A&M -2.5 (-110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

LSU is allowing just 14.6 points per game, but the Tigers have allowed at least 24 points in their only two games against top-20 offenses this season. While Texas A&M ranks 27th in points per game, the Aggies are averaging 36.1 per contest, scoring at least 31 in six of seven games.

LSU has scored more than 24 points just once all season. Though Texas A&M is allowing 23.4 points per game, the defense is allowing just 327.7 yards per contest. With LSU averaging just 366.6 yards per game, even if the Tigers’ defense slows down the Texas A&M offense, it won’t be able to do enough to keep this within a field goal.

All of our best sports betting sites are offering Texas A&M -2.5 for -110. This implies a 52.38% chance that Texas A&M covers. A $10 bet would pay $9.09.

💡 Texas A&M vs. LSU odds analysis

Get in on Texas A&M as soon as possible. With nearly two-thirds of bettors backing the Aggies to cover, I expect this spread to hit the key number of 3 and potentially get to 3.5 before long. With LSU’s offensive struggles, I’d gladly take this number as high as 6.5.

The total is set at 48.5, and 86% of bettors are backing the Over. This number should hit 50 before kickoff, but I’d stay away from this total, as these teams play very different styles.
