Betting line vs. Auburn moves slightly in LSU’s favor in Wednesday update

The Tigers are now an 8.5-point favorite for Saturday’s road trip against Auburn.

The Tigers opened as more than a touchdown favorite in Saturday’s road contest against Auburn, and on Wednesday, that line moved even further in LSU’s direction.

The spread on this week’s SEC matchup increased by half a point from eight to 8.5, indicating that a lot of the money is coming in on LSU. That’s understandable, given Auburn’s recent struggles. It was blown out by Penn State in Week 3 and had to survive an absolutely unhinged game of football to earn a win against Missouri last weekend.

Coach Bryan Harsin is on the hot seat, and a big loss on Saturday could prove to be the final nail in the coffin. With the stakes set, here’s where the latest betting odds sit as of noon CT on Wednesday, courtesy of BetMGM.

Team Spread Total – O/U Money Line
LSU -8.5
-110
O 45.5
-110
-350
Auburn +8,5
-110
U 45.5
-110
+260

LSU and Auburn kick-off on ESPN at 6 p.m. CT on Saturday for a game that could feature some rough conditions with outer effects from Hurricane Ian.
