Week 7 College Football Picks and Best Bets
By Evan Ertel
Auburn @ No. 22 LSU (-11) (O/U 61)
Evan: Jayden Daniels is doing his absolute best with the hand he’s been dealt. 19 touchdowns to two interceptions is quite the ratio, but he’s been getting no support from the other side of the ball. Auburn +11
Justin: Call me crazy, but I think Auburn has enough defense to at least keep it to ten or under. Auburn +11
Andrew: Hugh Freeze will find a way to score against a horrible LSU defense. Can his own defense limit LSU’s passing game? I don’t feel great about it, but they’ve yet to allow a truly huge offensive performance. And LSU winning by multiple scores over anyone not named Miss State seems unlikely. Auburn +11
Ryan: Auburn kept it close most of the game against Georgia. LSU has some real issues on the defensive side that have become a trend rather than blips on the radar and Freeze has been putting together good game plans to move the ball against good defenses so far this year. I do not believe this will be the Hugh Freeze game that everyone is expecting him to get but it will be close. Auburn +11
John: I thought LSU was going to be a dominant force in the SEC this season, but they haven’t played nearly to their potential this year. That being said, I still think they are significantly better than Auburn. LSU -11
Ethan: So far the only SEC offense we’ve seen actually truly stymied by this LSU bunch has been arguably the most dysfunctional offense in the country when the Bulldogs failed to really do much of anything. We’ve already seen Auburn give Georgia a challenge. I think LSU wins, but expect Auburn to keep it close. Auburn +11
