The 15th-ranked LSU Tigers will face a tough matchup on the road this Saturday when they play the No. 5-ranked Auburn Tigers at Jordan-Hare Stadium. CFN is predicting an 11 point victory for Auburn.

Who To Watch Out For: Brandon Harris was this close to being an Auburn Tiger, and now he’ll get his first collegiate start for LSU in what has the potential to be a special career. Anthony Jennings was the safer, more experienced choice to start this season, but it was Harris who almost pulled off the impossible against Miss State. When Jennings went 2-of-5 for 11 yards and two picks against New Mexico State, it became an easy call. Harris stepped in and completed 11-of-14 throws for 178 yards and three touchdowns to go along with two rushing scores.

What’s Going To Happen: LSU will play far better than it did against MSU. The power of Leonard Fournette and the rest backfield will keep the game under control, but Auburn will have a bit more on offense. It won’t just be the running game; Nick Marshall and the passing attack will unleash the big, talented receivers on the LSU secondary to balance things out just enough to take control early and hang in when Harris comes up with a few outstanding scoring drives.

Prediction: Auburn 38 … LSU 27
