It's a rainy and day in Shelby County. What kind of day will it be for Auburn before the end of the day in Louisiana? Auburn is a 10.5 point underdog to #2 LSU. Nobody is giving Auburn a chance. The 6 and 1 Tigers must win today to stay alive for the highest post season chances.

LSU Week
Much will be made of how Auburn hasn't won in Baton Rouge since 1999 and perhaps rightly so, but I don't believe this has any affect on who wins Saturday afternoon. LSU is a big favorite with an early line of 12.5. I have no problem with that. LSU should win. They have a very good team with perhaps the best performing QB in the country. Our Tigers will need to play well and get some breaks. I am anxious to see what happens.

2019 The Arkansas Game
After an off-week, the Tigers are in Fayetteville for a morning kickoff on the SEC Network. Auburn seems to be a double digit favorite. The Hogs are on a long conference losing streak. Whitlow is out at running back. Auburn does not yet have a favorable power running game. If we can't run the ball today, we will lose. Can Auburn get off to a good start?
