With two SEC losses already, the LSU Tigers must either string together five straight wins — three of which come against top-15 opponents — or come to terms with missing the College Football Playoff in a season where that was an openly declared goal.
The undefeated Texas A&M Aggies present a major challenge, but we’re breaking it all down with our Texas A&M vs. LSU predictions for Saturday, October 25.

Texas A&M vs LSU best bets
Texas A&M -2.5 (-115 at FanDuel)
The writing is on the wall for LSU. The Tigers went all-in on the 2025 season and are going to fall short of all their goals. This locker room may be on the verge of discord following last week's humbling loss at Vanderbilt.
Texas A&M is not who you want to face when already stumbling.
The Aggies have one of the country’s most effective rushing attacks, not only the weaker piece of the Tigers’ defense but also the piece that is more likely to allow down-to-down successes. Texas A&M should be able to run with enough success to bludgeon LSU into submission.
Meanwhile, the Tigers' offense is increasingly a worry. They haven’t scored more than 24 points against an FBS opponent this season, and the Aggies boast the toughest defense they’ve faced so far.
Texas A&M’s greatest defensive weakness is allowing short passing gains, but it limits explosive plays so effectively that there’s little reason to believe Garrett Nussmeier will break through the top of A&M’s secondary.
So the question is, can the Tigers keep the Aggies in check?
The Texas A&M physicality should eventually break through. In three of their four SEC games, the Aggies leaned on the run, finding far more success with it than they did the pass. Some of that is mere strength, in the literal sense.
Look for that to wear through the Tigers in the second half and further deflate Brian Kelly’s time in Baton Rouge.

Under 49.5 (-110 at FanDuel)
Advocating for the Under 49.5 is acknowledging how wretched LSU’s offense has looked lately.
It should be repeated, the Tigers have not scored more than 24 points against an FBS opponent this season.
Texas A&M vs LSU TD pick
Rueben Owens II (-145 at FanDuel)
In the first two competitive games of A&M’s season, Rueben Owens II took six total carries for 57 yards. In the last two games, he has taken 31 rushes for 120 yards and three scores. Owens should continue to find success against LSU and get a touchdown in as well while he's at it.
Texas A&M vs LSU prop pick
Caden Durham Over 50.5 rushing yards (-114 at FanDuel)
This is one of those props where I went to go look to take an LSU running back Under and then I saw the line and had no choice but to flip it completely and not just avoid the play, but actually take the Over. This line is just way too low.
Caden Durham has run for at least 51 yards in four of his six games this season and eight of 12 last season. The lone two where he failed to hit the number were against bad teams where he saw very little work because of a blowout. He hit this number in both of their losses this season.
The Texas A&M Aggies defense is solid against the run overall but has allowed the main running back to clear this number in almost every game this season. Only Auburn failed to have a running back get at least 50 yards and that running back had only six carries.
Last week, Durham had only seven carries but still ran for 59 yards. He had at least 15 carries in the other three games against good opponents. LSU will not abandon the run regardless of score and Durham will get enough carries to hit this low total.
