Texas A&M’s secondary did a good job limiting Georgia State’s passing game in their previous game. Despite being 10.5-point underdogs at away, I’m confident in their ability to cover against LSU.

For this matchup, I’m going to be hammering the under, as our model has Texas A&M and LSU combining for 66 points. Right now the over/under line is sitting at 66.5, so I’d recommend getting some action on the under.
