NCAAF Picks: Undefeated Auburn hosts LSU Saturday night

NCAAF Picks:  The LSU Tigers were all business last week with a 63-7 home payout and massacre of New Mexico State after their shocking loss to Mississippi State which served as a wakeup call for their prospects in the SEC West Division.  The undefeated Auburn Tigers are starting to see their betting value drop as the public is becoming too enamored with them as a team and opposing defenses look like they are catching on to head coach Gus Malzahn’s zone read offense.

The Auburn Tigers will host the LSU Tigers at Jordan Hare Stadium on Saturday night with coverage on ESPN starting at 7 PM ET.  Auburn is listed as a 7.5-point favorite.  BetDSI has the latest up to the minute NCAAF odds.
