LSU Is Favored by 9.5 Over Texas A&M — Is That Too Much?
No. 10 LSU is currently a 9.5-point favorite over No. 23 Texas A&M. ESPN’s FPI is considerably less confident, projecting LSU by only 4.5 points with a 63% chance to win. Both teams enter Saturday at 2–1 after losing their SEC openers.
TigerHype take: That is a pretty big gap between the market and the computer model. LSU has the home-field advantage and a night crowd in Death Valley, but the Tigers are also coming off a game where they fell behind 17–0 and lost two important contributors to injury.
This feels like a perfect temperature check on how LSU fans actually view this team after Oxford.
Is LSU really 9–10 points better than Texas A&M right now?
And forget betting for a second: what margin would make you come away Saturday feeling LSU had genuinely answered the Ole Miss loss?
