LSU Football vs. Auburn: Where to watch, spread, and prediction
By John Fye
LSU Football returns home to play Auburn in the 58th edition of the “Tiger Bowl” on Saturday. Here’s a look at the game’s information, gambling odds, and our prediction.
The LSU Tigers (4-2) are back in Death Valley for a home game after two weeks on the road. The Auburn Tigers (3-2) come to town after a bye week that followed their narrow loss to No. 1 ranked Georgia.
LSU Football beat Auburn in the Plains last year 21-17. However, the Tigers from Alabama are in a more stable position with Hugh Freeze at head coach. As such, we’re expecting another drag-out fight that is low scoring by college football standards.
Here are the odds, spread, how to watch and our prediction for the LSU Tigers vs. Auburn Tigers.

Death Valley Voice Prediction:
The Auburn Tigers are not pushovers by any stretch of the imagination. Freeze’s squad is boasted by the top-25 collegiate defense and an extra week to rest and study their opponent. We also know that Auburn will put a lot of pressure on their opponent and capitalize on forced errors.
Conversely, LSU Football is back in the comforts of Baton Rouge and somewhat battle-tested after coming from behind to beat Missouri on the road. Missouri is not better than LSU, but they presented an incredible mismatch in Week 6.
Nevertheless, Brian Kelly’s team rallied and stole a road win in Columbia.
Most Tiger Bowl games are hard-fought contests that involve a few memorable plays. We expect the latest version of such to abide by the same rules. LSU will win the game, but it comes after an interesting four quarters of play.
LSU Football moves to 5-2 after beating Auburn in Baton Rouge 26-19.
