Auburn at LSU picks and predictions
Prediction
Auburn 73, LSU 66
Moneyline
PASS.
While Auburn (-230) is the better team right now, taking them straight up isn’t advised at the current odds as the risk isn’t worth the reward.
Against the spread
Even with LSU having a 9-1 record at home this season, AUBURN -4.5 (-115) is the ideal choice in this game. LSU is going to need special games from F KJ Williams and G Adam Miller to win on Wednesday, but I believe Auburn slows at least 1 of them down.
LSU is 1-6 ATS in its last 7 home games and 0-6 ATS in its last 6 games following a loss. On top of that, the favorite is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings between Auburn and LSU.
Over/Under
OVER 137.5 (-115) is a solid pick in this game with Auburn being a perfect 4-0 to the Over on the road this season. These 2 SEC rivals have also hit this total in 9 of the last 10 meetings.
Auburn has gone Over in 5 straight road games and in 6 of its last 7 games following a win, while the Over is 4-1 in its last 5 games against a team with a winning record for LSU.
