They are 3-1 in their home games, 2-0 in their road games, and they are also 1-0 in their neutral site games this season, but they will be at home for this game.

The current betting odds have Texas A&M listed as a 2.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Texas A&M has looked great in their games this season with their 6-1 record overall and their 4-0 conference record which has them right near the top of the SEC this season. They have looked great under their new head coach Mike Elko as he has turned this team completely around from their Jimbo Fisher days. Meanwhile, LSU has also looked really good in their games this season with their 6-1 record overall and their 3-0 conference record which also has them right near the top of the SEC at the moment. They are coming off a road win against Arkansas in their last one, but they have only played 2 road games this season and struggled in their other one even though they came away with the win. Both of these teams are in a similar situation since they both lost their season openers and have won 6 games in a row since then, but the winner of this game will have the inside track to the SEC Championship while the other takes their 2nd loss of the season so this game has big implications for both teams. LSU has looked great on offense all season, but their defense has been a big problem and that is an area that Texas A&M definitely has an advantage in. Texas A&M has looked a lot better on defense all season, and now their offense has been improving a ton in their games lately so they have the edge in this one with the home advantage on their side too. The best way to place a bet here is on Texas A&M to cover the spread in this game.

“These games have always been close games, but to come down here and play the kind of football we did today, which was controlling the line of scrimmage — they had 38 yards rushing — and for us to run the football and close out the game with (a long drive), those are the things you look for in a football team that is emerging as a contender.” - Brian Kelly after his team’s win against Arkansas in their last game. 

“It’s a road win and those don’t come easy in this league. Going on the road in this conference, nothing comes easy, and they certainly didn’t make it easy. Give credit to our guys, I thought we battled and scrapped through adversity.” - Mike Elko after his team’s win against MS State in their last game.
