BookMaker has the LSU Tigers listed as 11-point favorites at home against the Auburn Tigers on Saturday evening in week 7 of the college football season. LSU has won six of the last ten while Auburn has won two of the last three meetings while going 7-3 ATS in the last ten and 3-0 ATS in the last three games in the series. Auburn is 2-3 ATS overall, 0-2 ATS on the road, 1-1 ATS as an underdog, and 1-1 ATS in conference games this season while the LSU Tigers are 3-3 ATS overall, 1-1 ATS at home, 3-3 ATS as a favorite, and 2-2 ATS in conference games on the year.

Auburn is an improved team this season, however, they are still less talented than the LSU Tigers. However, in a rivalry all things go out the window and the Auburn Tigers have been the better team most recently in the series winning two of the last three meetings, and have been the dominant team at covering the spread going 7-3 ATS in the last ten and have covered the previous four matchups in the series I look for the Auburn Tigers to extend that to five games in a row when they cover with the 11 points on the road against the LSU Tigers on Saturday evening.
