Rickenbach NCAAF Game #150 - *8* OVER 48 in LSU vs Auburn @ 3:30 ET - Because of the history of these two teams having solid defenses in past years, this total has plummeted from an opener of 52.5 all the way down to a 48 as of Friday evening. This is offering solid line value to "over players" because, always remember, things often are not as they seem on the surface. In this case, both teams are showing a likelihood toward forcing this game to become a higher-scoring contest. Even though LSU's game at Mississippi State stayed well under the total last week, LSU did gain 266 yards on the ground while allowing the Bulldogs 335 through the air. Auburn comes into this game having allowed 438 yards to Jacksonville State last week and that was not necessarily a fluke because they did allow over 400 yards to Louisville in Week One. The strength for Auburn is a dangerous offensive attack that will start to gel more now that they are into their third game of the season and already had their "scare" but survived it after coming out flat against Jacksonville State. Auburn will take advantage of an LSU defense that has already shown weakness in defending the pass. Head coach Gus Malzahn is a mastermind on offense and he'll have big plays ready their first SEC game of the season. Auburn is 11-6 to the over in SEC game the prior two seasons. Auburn is also 6-3 to the over as an underdog the past two seasons. Play OVER 48 in LSU as an *8* selection Saturday.
