In his first season as head coach of the Texas A&M Aggies, Mike Elko is turning the program into what fans and donors have always demanded. After their opening game loss to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Texas A&M has been one of the best teams in the country. The LSU Tigers and head coach Brian Kelly have a similar story. The Bayou Bengals are unbeaten since their shocking loss in Las Vegas to the USC Trojans to start the year. Both LSU and Texas A&M are now in the hunt for the SEC Championship and College Football Playoff.
The Tigers and Aggies Week 9 showdown is the ABC prime-time feature matchup.
There will be plenty of college football using crypto action for this SEC showdown. LSU will draw a look from Wise Guys as the power road team. But bargain hunters will like red hot Texas A&M for getting a home team discount against a name brand power.
On Saturday, October 26, 2024, the Texas A&M Aggies will host the LSU Tigers at Kyle Field in College Station, TX. Kickoff time is set for 7:30 p.m. ET and television coverage on ABC.

Last game, the LSU Tigers won 34-10 against the Arkansas Razorbacks as 3-point road favorites. The game went under the total of 57. LSU has a record of 6-1 straight up, 3-4 against the spread, and 2-5 over/under the total. LSU ranks 25th for total offense, 8th for passing, 96th for rushing and 29th for scoring.

Caden Durham ran for 101 yards and three touchdowns, and Damian Ramos made a career-best four field goals for LSU. Whit Weeks, the SEC’s leading tackler entering the weekend, helped provide the Tigers some breathing room late in the third quarter when he deflected and intercepted a Taylen Green pass inside the Arkansas 5. Durham scored on a two-yard run on the next play to extend the LSU lead to 24-10 with 4:52 left in the third.
Ramos, whose 20-yard kick lifted LSU over the Razorbacks in 2023, connected on field goals of 33, 33, 47, and 48 yards. His last attempt pushed him to 12 of 14 this season. Garrett Nussmeier threw for 233 yards, and CJ Daniels caught seven passes for 86 yards for the Tigers. Weeks finished with nine tackles and a sack on top of the interception.
Overall, the LSU football team is showing plenty of momentum and improved betting value after a poor start this season.
Last game, the Texas A&M Aggies won 34-24 against the Mississippi State Bulldogs as 21-point road favorites. The game went over the total of 55. Texas A&M has a record of 6-1 straight up, 2-5 against the spread, and 4-3 over/under the total. Texas A&M ranks 57th for total offense, 107th for passing, 13th for rushing and 46th for scoring.

Le’Veon Moss rushed for two touchdowns for the Aggies. Moss had 65 yards on 17 carries. His 3-yard TD run gave the Aggies a 31-17 lead with 3:24 left in the third quarter. In his second game back after being sidelined by a shoulder injury, Texas A&M quarterback Conner Weigman was 15 of 25 for 217 yards and a touchdown with two interceptions. Jabre Barber had six catches for 92 yards.
The Texas A&M football team is losing money despite its on-field success, which indicates a team that is consistently overpriced.
LSU at Texas A&M Same Game Parlay Picks
Texas A&M will draw plenty of casual support at Kyle Field. On the other hand, LSU, with an enhanced price, will also be considered the power road team. Based on Texas A&M’s mediocre offense and solid defense, this one should be tight and low scoring.
LSU +2.5
LSU/Texas A&M UNDER 53.5
