NCAAF: Auburn Tigers vs. LSU Tigers in Baton Rouge

NCAAF: Tigers vs Tigers at Tiger Stadium

It'll be a catfight this Saturday when No. 13 LSU Tigers welcome the No. 18 Auburn Tigers to Baton Rouge this Saturday 3:30 PM ET on CBS, with LSU favored by seven. Auburn has played and won twice straight up, but it took overtime to beat the Jacksonville State Gamecocks 27-20 last week. They did escape with a victory, but they dropped all the way to No. 18 in the AP Poll as a result. That's Jacksonville State from the Ohio Valley Conference in the FCS. Louisiana State has played just once, edging the Mississippi State Bulldogs 21-19 as a 4-point road chalk. This figures to be a tough matchup for Auburn. First-year starter Jeremy Johnson has already thrown five interceptions this year, and he'll be facing a very tough LSU pass rush. Jeremy Johnson has to figure out how to hold onto the football at this point. He's made some awful throws this season which have literally ended being put right in the hands of defenders, something which just shouldn't happen at this level and can't happen in this game if Auburn is to have any shot of winning this one. Auburn is also missing a number of injured players on offense. LSU will be looking for revenge after dropping a 41-7 decision to Auburn last year. LSU's defense hasn't been tested yet this year, though holding Dak Prescott and Mississippi State to 19 points and 337 yards was impressive, especially for a game in Starkville. The LSU offense is going to run the ball whenever they can with Leonard Fournette. Fournette had 28 carries for 159 yards and three touchdowns against Mississippi State. If the Auburn defense struggled against Jacksonville State and its power sweep options out of the shotgun, Fournette could be in for a good day. The key is going to be making it so Brandon Harris doesn't have to throw the ball that much. He only went 9-of-14 for 71 yards last week in Starkville. Best Sports Gambling Site Reviews
