Auburn vs LSU Odds: Roll With LSU As The Double-Digit Point Home Favorite
Auburn Heads to Baton Rouge Looking To Cover Versus LSU Yet Again

In a Battle of Tigers, Host LSU Is A Double-Digit Favorite Against Auburn
Auburn’s quest to pick up its first SEC win of the season will be daunting as the Tigers head to Baton Rouge to face LSU. The Auburn vs LSU odds have the home team as a double-digit favorite in a battle of the Tigers.
LSU goes after its fifth win in the last seven games over Auburn. Six of the previous seven meetings have been decided by five points or less, with the last five going under the total.
The college football scores and odds list LSU as the 11-point favorite.
LSU has covered just five of nine games as the home favorite since the start of the 2021 season. Auburn is 4-4-1 against the college football spread as the road underdog since that time.
When looking at the college football standings, LSU is 1/2 of a game behind Alabama in the SEC West Division race, with Auburn one of three SEC West teams still winless in conference play.
LSU is ranked 20th in the American Football Coaches Association poll and 22nd in the Associated Press poll. The Tigers moved up in both polls after last week’s win over Missouri.
A quick peek at the college football schedule shows that this is the middle game, as Auburn has three straight contests versus ranked teams.
LSU had the fifth-best odds to win the national title coming into the season, but those odds have moved from +1200 to +15000 after losses to Florida State and Ole Miss.

Thorne In the Side
When Payton Thorne transferred from Michigan State to Auburn, the hope was that he would breathe some life into an Auburn passing offense.
However, in its first two SEC games of the year, the Tigers are averaging more than 100 fewer yards in total offense than they did a season ago.
Auburn is averaging the fewest passing yards per game, has the fewest number of touchdown passes, and has the worst passing efficiency rating among SEC teams. Keep that in mind when looking at the Auburn vs LSU odds.
Thorne went 16-for-31 with 126 yards in losses to Texas A&M and Georgia.
The total has gone over in eight of Auburn’s last 12 games.
Daniels Is Hitting His Stride
LSU’s Jayden Daniels leads the SEC with 1969 passing yards, 19 touchdown passes, and a 196.7 passing efficiency rating.
Daniels has completed 74% of his passes for 673 yards with even TD passes and no interceptions. That could factor into the Auburn vs LSU odds.
Daniels had a forgettable performance in last year’s win over Auburn, completing 8 of 20 passes for 80 yards and no touchdowns. Expect much more from a player who is seventh in the odds to win the Heisman Trophy.
Malik Nabers has four straight 100-yard receiving games, while Brian Thomas has six TD catches over the last three games.
Each of LSU’s last 10 games finished over the total.
Last Meeting
Auburn jumped out to a 17-0 lead before LSU used a fumble recovery for a touchdown and a scoring run by Jayden Daniels to pull within three points by halftime. LSU took its first lead late in the third quarter for the only points in the second half as LSU won 21-17.
Auburn, listed as the eight-point underdog at home, covered against LSU for the fourth game in a row. The game finished under the 44.5-point total. It was the fifth straight game to go under the total.
Auburn vs LSU Betting Preview
LSU has won 10 of its last 11 home games against Auburn, while Auburn has lost seven of its last eight contests on the road.
The total has gone over the last nine times that LSU has been listed as a favorite. Dating back to 1997, this is just the second time that an Auburn-LSU matchup has a total of over 60. The last time it happened was in 2020 when the 48-11 Auburn win fell under the 63.5-point total. The total for this game opened at 63.5 but has moved to 61.
LSU has covered five of the last seven games as a double-digit favorite.
LSU and Vanderbilt are the only Football Bowl Subdivision teams to have every game finish over the total so far this season.
Auburn is 4-1-1 against the spread in its last six games as a double-digit underdog.
LSU is among the top-scoring NCAA Football teams in the national in the second half.
Auburn leads the SEC in red-zone defense, allowing points in nine of 13 drives into the red zone, with just six of those scores being touchdowns.
Receivers Ja’Varrius Johnson and Malcolm Johnson are questionable for Auburn. They have combined for seven catches this season. Running back Damari Alston is doubtful. Alston is one of five Auburn players with more than 100 rushing yards.
For LSU, receiver Aaron Anderson (8 catches) is expected to return after missing the last two games, while receiver Chris Hilton (5 catches, 104 yards) is doubtful.
Go with LSU to not only win at home against Auburn but to cover as well as an Auburn team that has had a brutal opening portion of their SEC schedule.
