The LSU Tigers (2-2) travel to The Plains on Saturday to face bitter rival Auburn (3-2) in a crucial SEC matchup.

Earlier this week, BetMGM released the opening odds for the Tiger Bowl, and the defending national champions opened as slight 2.5-point favorites.

With the news that freshman quarterback TJ Finley will likely start at quarterback for the Tigers, the spread has remained the same, while there was a slight increase in the over/under.

Finley was outstanding in his first career start in the win over South Carolina last week, completing 17 of 21 passes for 265 yards and two touchdowns. Finley also scored one touchdown on the ground.
