We'll see a battle of the Tigers in Baton Rouge Saturday afternoon as Auburn visits LSU, and I like Auburn in this spot.

The visitors are coming off a dominant 44-23 victory against Mississippi to improve to 5-1 SU (2-2-2 ATS) on the season. Auburn had a 35-3 halftime lead could relax a bit in the second half, with the 23 points allowed the most in a game all season. Head coach Gus Malzahn: "Our first defense held them to 10 points, and I think if we had kept the first defense in, then we could have held them to 10 points the whole game."

Auburn is 6th in scoring defense on the season giving up just 13 points per game and here it'll face an LSU offense ranked 94th in the nation in scoring offense putting up only 25.3 points per contest.

Offensively Auburn has a strong running game averaging 228 yards per game on the ground despite Kamryn Pettway limited by injuries as Kerryon Johnson has picked up the slack with a total of 504 rushing yards and 12 scores.

LSU is 4-1 SU but only 1-4-1 ATS on the season failing to cover the spread in each of its last four games. The offense won't get much done here against an excellent Auburn D, and I think the visitors will cover the spread with ease.

My selection is an 8* play on Auburn Tigers.
