CNNSI Reporter picks AU 38 - LSU 17

LSU only scoring 17 points

It's possible if Jefferson plays most of the game.

The question is not if he will kill any scoring drives, but how many.

People love to make predictions. Only problem is, most of these people haven't seen LSU play. They only hear stories about how lucky they are and look at the box score of the AU v ARKY game and assume that they will score 40 points on LSU.

Here is my prediction, having seen every down of every LSU game this year... LSU has perhaps the best defense in college football. Despite how terrible they look on offense, because they have such a great D, NO ONE IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL will or would blow out LSU this year! That includes Auburn. That said, the way the offense has played, it doesn't seem like LSU will blow anyone out either. This means a LOT of games decided by one possession. This game will be no different. In my opinion this game is won by no more than 5 or 6. And I could honestly see either side winning it.

LSU: 24
AU: 23

I would say that is fairly accurate...

That sounds about right to me....

I don't see Auburn getting out of the mid 20s.

If they do, we lose. Plain and simple. LSU has to limit Auburn to 24 or less, I think, AND avoid at all cost going to overtime.

I predicted 38-20 Auburn earlier in the week FWIW
