LSU vs Auburn same-game parlay
With just one win in their last eight games, Auburn is desperate not only for a victory but also for scoring “style points” to move off the bubble. The Tigers still have work to do to secure an NCAA berth, while LSU is a lost cause with a coach on the hot seat and players already planning their exits.
Game models flirt with 160 points from these SEC rivals. Both Auburn and LSU can attack the paint and shoot at a high clip, making this matchup a potential track meet — as seen in Auburn’s recent outings (3-1 O/U in the last four games).
Hall can hurt LSU as much as he can help Auburn. Despite a slight dip in attempts over the past two games, he’s still scored 21 and 26 points, with some models projecting upwards of 24 against the Bayou Bengals.
