LSU Fighting Tigers vs. Auburn Tigers Wagering Line and Pick

LSU vs. Auburn. Does it get any better than this for college football betting fans? The LSU Fighting Tigers, fresh off of last season’s BCS Championship, have been doing what comes naturally to them – – winning games and lining the pockets of BetUS Sportsbook fans with online wagering profits.

The Auburn Tigers have been doing pretty much the same. Well, not exactly. LSU has been an online betting dynamo the past few seasons. They cover online betting spreads with regularity while the Auburn Tigers have been sort of disappointing in that department.

Then again, Auburn is excellent in these SEC rivalry games. Their defense is always good. Their offense? Not too hot. Putting up only 3 points against Mississippi State last weekend was not a good sign for this Auburn Tigers team. Three points against the LSU Fighting Tigers will not be enough for Auburn to win this game. That is the reason I have to call into question the Auburn Tigers’ ability to bring home some online betting dollars in this college football game. But this is Auburn vs. LSU. It’s always a toss up.

Here are the BetUS online sportsbook betting odds in this game.

LSU Fighting Tigers – 3 ½ – 110
Auburn Tigers + 3 ½ – 110

Here are a few online wagering trends that might help us find a good online bet in this game.

The LSU Fighting Tigers are 2 and 6 against the spread in their last 8 games on grass.
The LSU Fighting Tigers are 1-4-1 against the spread in the last 6 meetings between these two teams.
The Auburn Tigers are 7 and 2 against the spread versus a team with a winning record.
In Head-to-Head competition between these two teams the home team is 5-2-1 against the spread in the last 8 meetings.

The online sportsbook betting line shifted from Auburn +21/5 to Auburn +3½ in less than four days. Because of that, it makes sense to look at the LSU Fighting Tigers as the hot team.

A lot of online betting dollars have been dumped onto LSU to easily cover this online wagering spread.

I’m not buying it. Auburn has one of the stingiest defenses in the nation and their offense should be getting better. Coach Tommy Tubberville instituted a new spread offense for this team. Their players haven’t picked it up just yet, but I have the feeling that as the season wears on, things will start to work out for the Auburn Tigers on offense. More importantly, the trends point to Auburn playing very well in this game and unlike last season, Auburn gets to host LSU instead of traveling to Baton Rouge.

That leads me to think that Auburn has a chance against the online betting spread in this game. The Auburn Tigers will be my online bet in this game at + 3 ½ – 110 on the BetUS sportsbook.

I love LSU but Auburn at home receiving points against the spread is a tough online wager to pass up.
