Why Texas A&M can cover
The Aggies have bounced back from their Week 1 loss to Notre Dame by controlling the line of scrimmage. In the six games since, Texas A&M has outrushed opponents by 770 yards total and has won the rushing battle each week.
Le'Veon Moss is starting to look like one of the SEC's best backs with 674 rushing yards and eight touchdowns on the season. Texas A&M beat LSU at home by double-digits in 2020 and 2022 and Moss is one of a handful of players who were on the roster for the win in 2022. See who to back at SportsLine.
Why LSU can cover
LSU is coming off arguably its best defensive performance of the season against Arkansas. The Tigers only allowed 278 yards of total offense, a season-low, and only gave up 38 yards on the ground while forcing three turnovers. Meanwhile, Caden Durham rushed for 101 yards and three touchdowns to help the LSU offense play complimentary football in a 34-10 win.
Now Brian Kelly's squad will look to build off that quality experience on the road in another hostile environment. The Tigers have covered the spread in 12 of their last 13 matchups with the Aggies and they hold a 36-23-2 advantage straight up in the all-time series. See who to back at SportsLine.
