A&M at LSU - analysis

This is an interesting match-up between an offensive team and a defensive team.  Neither team is in contention for any conference title and neither team has any special motivation.  The kickoff is at 11 AM and LSU historically plays much better at night.  Their fans are not properly lubricated before lunch.  But the odds-makers favor teams with a high scoring offense, especially those with a Heisman contender, and that is why the line is LSU -11.  I think a fair line in this game should be more like LSU -6, so I will gladly take the 11 points.  

Let's compare common opponents:

                   A&M                    LSU

Auburn        27-10                 48-18

Arkansas     34-22                 34-31

Alabama      20-26 (L)           28-42 (L)

Ole Miss       35-38 (L)           49-55 (L)

Ms State      51-10                41-14

Looks like two evenly matched teams to me.  Thoughts?

Nice input. GL 

I could be wrong, but is the A&M QB hurt?

If not, I am POUNDING A&M here.

They can win outright.

@JS12

 Yes A&M has injury issues at QB.  Conner Weigman got hurt early in the year and Max Johnson stepped in.  Johnson now has an undisclosed injury and is listed as "questionable" for Saturday.  I don't have any info on the next man up.  

I would have to go with A&M and the points but not big bc it's not clear who is under center 

Agree

Henderson is the qb. He transferred from Fresn St. he is a dual threat lefty. He’s played pretty good. I like the over. Both teams will score. Aggies secondary is there weakness

lets go Aggies. 

I don’t like giving points when you can’t trust the defense. I will probably make some bets in game. 

@texanradman

 Do you know if Henderson is starting at QB for A&M?

Yeah this one is tough because of the uncertainty at QB.

But in general, yeah I see A&M giving them a real battle here.

I'm going to take it, but not as heavy only because of the QB thing.

@TheLorenaKid

 I don't know who will start at QB for A&M.  Johnson is listed as questionable with hurt ribs.
