Texas A&M Aggies at LSU Tigers odds, picks and predictions - Sportsbook Wire

The No. 20 Texas A&M Aggies (2-1, 0-1 SEC) and the No. 11 LSU Tigers (2-1, 0-1) meet Saturday at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, for an SEC game. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (ABC). Let's analyze college football odds around the Texas A&M vs. LSU odds and make our expert college football picks and predictions for the best bets.

LSU leads the all-time series 32-25-3, although the Aggies have won in each of the past 2 seasons. That includes a 49-25 beatdown in Death Valley on Oct. 25, 2025, last season. The winning team has averaged 38.8 points per game (PPG) in the past 5 in the series, with the losing side scoring at least 23 points in each outing, averaging 25.0 PPG. The Over is 5-0 in those past 5 meetings since Nov. 27, 2021.

Texas A&M was stunned at home by Kentucky, 31-21, as a 16.5-point favorite as the Over (48.5) cashed. The Aggies had covered the first 2 games of the season, including an impressive 48-20 win over Arizona State on Sept. 12. The Over is 2-1 in 3 tries.

LSU lost Lane Kiffin's return to Ole Miss last Saturday, falling 32-24 as a 2.5-point favorite as the Under (58.5) cashed. Tigers QB Sam Leavitt threw for 158 yards and a TD, while running for 63 yards and a score in a losing effort. The Tigers are 1-2 ATS in 3 tries, while the Over is also 2-1 in the first 3 outings.

LSU (-325) will set you back more than 3 times your potential return, and that's way too expensive for a standalone play, even with a boost or promo. Only toss LSU into a multi-leg parlay with at least 5 or 6 ends to have any kind of value.

Take TEXAS A&M +8 (-108), as the Aggies try to bounce back from the shocking loss to Kentucky. The Aggies should get decent play from QB Marcel Reed, who will be able to find some open spaces against LSU.

OVER 52.5 (-108) is worth a look, with the Over going 2-1 for both sides this season. A&M has allowed 25.5 PPG in 2 games against FBS teams, while averaging 34.5 PPG on offense in those games. LSU is averaging 48.0 PPG at home, including a 51-10 rout of Clemson in the opener Sept. 5.

LSU QB Sam Leavitt OVER 44.5 Rushing Yards (-114) on FANDUEL

Leavitt exploded for 113 rushing yards and 2 TDs against Clemson on Sept. 5, then posted 63 yards on the ground with a score last weekend at Ole Miss. Leavitt is a strong play to get more than 45 yards, and if you're a little braver, 50+ Rushing Yards (+110) starts paying plus-money.
