Auburn vs. LSU: Prediction, point spread, odds, best bet

JD McCarthy
3–4 minutes

The Auburn Tigers are set to return to action Saturday night in what should be a thrilling game against the LSU Tigers, and if you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We’ll give you the latest point spread, money line odds, and over/under number, as well as the information you’ll need to make the smartest bet at BetMGM.

Auburn (3-2, 0-2 SEC) will be well rested after enjoying their bye last week and looking to snap a two-game losing streak and pick up their first SEC win of the season. It will be a tough matchup as LSU has one of the best offenses in the country led by star quarterback Jayden Daniels.

LSU (4-2, 3-1) is averaging 44.8 points per game and 7.81 yards per play thanks to the play of Daniels and wide receivers Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr., who are both averaging over 100 yards receiving per game.

The good news for Auburn is that the LSU defense is one of the worst in the conference and could be what Auburn needs to get the offense going. Even with their poor defense, BetMGM has the Bayou Bengals as 11.5-point favorites over Auburn.

Here is everything you need to know before you place any bets on the game.

The lines, courtesy of BetMGM

  • Auburn Point spread: +11.5 (-110)
  • LSU Point spread: -11.5 (-110)
  • Over/Under: 47.5 (-110)

Auburn

WR Ja’Varrius Johnson Hamstring Questionable
RB Damari Alston Shoulder Questionable
DB Keionte Scott Ankle OUT
LB Austin Keys Thumb OUT
DL Mosiah Nasili-Kite Bicep Out for Season

LSU

WR Aaron Anderson Questionable Hamstring
WR Chris Hilton Jr. Questionable Undisclosed

Auburn has struggled to win in Baton Rouge and I don’t see that changing this week.

While LSU’s defense is susceptible, Auburn does not have the passing attack to take advantage and I’m expecting Jayden Daniels to have a big game and for LSU to pull away in the second half.

Prediction: LSU 45, Auburn 30

Auburn opens as doubledigit underdog at LSU

Nathan King
4–5 minutes

Hugh Freeze’s transition recruiting class at Auburn wasn’t as crucial for patching up the roster as the team’s transfer additions were, but the Tigers are still relying on a few members of the 2023 class in significant roles as only true freshmen.

With Auburn now rested from its bye week, the team’s attention turns to a road tilt at LSU on Saturday (6 p.m. CDT, ESPN). An early bye week means Auburn has played only five games, two of which were comfortable home wins over non-Power Five programs.

Those allowed the Tigers to get plenty of young faces on the field, as all but five members of their freshman class have appeared in a game so far this season. But who have been the most utilized youngsters this season, and which players are closest to burning their redshirts and becoming true sophomores in 2024?

In 2018, the NCAA ruled that players can play in up to four games while maintaining a standard redshirt. The mandate has allowed inexperienced players to receive valuable playing time — even if just in garbage time against overmatched opponents — instead of riding the bench and only participating in practice all season.

Properly managing redshirts, particularly from a freshman class, can create both added depth, along with a peek into what the future could hold for a program at various position groups. Mismanagement, however, can lead to a sticky situation — like when 4-star running back Asa Martin transferred from Auburn after the Tigers’ staff accidentally burned his redshirt by putting him in a fifth game on special teams.

After a whopping 10 true freshmen burned their redshirts in Gus Malzahn’s final season in 2020, the immediate usage of Auburn’s recruiting classes has leveled out. Only two true freshmen appeared in more than than four games under Bryan Harsin in 2021, followed by six last season.

The Tigers haven’t dipped too far into its freshman reserves and appear to have a fixed group of youngsters who will continue to help them this season. All three players who have already burned their redshirts have had clear roles since the preseason, and their usage thus far this season hasn’t come as a surprise.

In total, 13 of Auburn’s 18 true freshmen have already appeared in at least one game. And with only one breezy nonconference game remaining — the week before the Iron Bowl against New Mexico State — there’s a high probability that those who have already burned their freshman redshirt will be the only ones. There are no Auburn freshmen currently sitting on the four-game fence. Barring injury — which, for example, forced safety Terrance Love to play against Texas A&M when the plan was probably to keep him sitting — those who have yet to appear in more than four games likely will not do so.

Here’s what the participation looks like for Auburn’s 2023 class exiting the bye week and heading into the meat of the team’s conference schedule. The Tigers’ top-recruited talent is paying off so far, as the only players to have already burned their redshirts are three of the team’s top five-rated signees in the class.

BURNED REDSHIRT

• RB Jeremiah Cobb: 5 games

• DE Keldric Faulk: 5 games

• CB Kayin Lee: 5 games

ELIGIBLE TO REDSHIRT

• S Terrance Love: 3 games

• CB Colton Hood: 2 games

• JACK Brenton Williams: 2 games

• C Connor Lew: 2 games

• OT Tyler Johnson: 2 games

• CB JC Hart: 1 game
