Staff picks and x-factors for LSU-Auburn on Saturday

Our staff weighs in with their x-factors and predictions for the Saturday night showdown with Auburn.

We have heard from Auburn Wire and the experts on the Saturday night showdown on the Bayou. The staff gets their opportunity to discuss who will win this game in Death Valley.

Whether it is TJ Finley or Bo Nix at quarterback is trivial at this point, it will come down to a few things in this game. None of which really involve them so to speak. Can LSU stop the run game for Auburn, can they take pressure off of Max Johnson, and who will rise to the occassion?

The current line is LSU (-3.5) per Tipico Sportsbook.
