Who have they played at home? Other than Clemson, Kentucky was the best team they played. Here is there home record

Northwestern State (W) 59-7
Clemson (L) 28-26
UL Monroe (W) 48-10
Arkansas (W) 24-17
Kentucky (W) 20-14 OT
Ole Miss (W) 38-24
UAB (W) 41-20

Record vs common opponents

When both have wins I would contend LSU's are better

aTm - Arkansas (W) 24-17
LSU - @Arkansas (W) 24-17

aTm - Ole Miss (W) 38-24
LSU - Ole Miss (W) 45-16

Alabama is the only team both have losses against. You could make a case for either team doing better here. I personally think LSU did, my contention hinges on the fact that with just over 5 minutes to go in the 3rd the score was 16-0, the score was 38-16 at that point in the aTm-Bama game.

aTm - @Alabama (L) 45-23
LSU - Alabama (L) 29-0

LSU won, aTm lost vs these opponents though LSU was at home vs Moo State

aTm - @Mississippi State (L) 28-13
LSU - Mississippi State (W) 19-3

aTm - @Auburn (L) 28-24
LSU - @Auburn (W) 22-21

aTm in College Station makes me nervous but I think we can take them if we play like we want to win and generate some offense. At home vs SEC competition, they have only Scored over 24 points once vs Ole Miss (38). 20 vs Kentucky and 24 vs Arkansas. Bad news is that LSU's high score away vs SEC opponents is 24 (vs Arkansas) though our other two SEC away games were Auburn and Florida who had legit defenses.

They played a very close game against the #2 team in the nation. That's pretty impressive to any objective observer. It shows what A&M is capable of. Now if Otaro Alaka can't play, that could be huge. I still think this game will be close. Burrow will need good protection in the pocket and if he gets that, LSU might very well roll. We'll see.

Agreed. I'm not saying LSU won't win, but with the game being in College Station, it makes me nervous. Streaks end eventually, and it does seem to me that A&M plays much better at home. As I said before, I think the key will be whether or not LSU's O-line can keep the rush off of Burrow.
