Auburn vs LSU prediction: LSU to win on the road

Auburn hosts LSU at Jordan-Hare Stadium in a Week 8 SEC game that kicks off at 11 AM CDT on October 24, which is 1:00 AM KST on October 25. Auburn is in Alex Golesh's first season as head coach, while LSU is coached by Lane Kiffin, who moved over after leaving Ole Miss.

LSU has the stronger recent history in this rivalry. The Tigers have won the last two meetings, including a 48-18 win in Baton Rouge in 2023, and they lead the all-time series 30-24-1. Auburn has the home crowd, but the recent results favor LSU.

The LSU offense also has new options after a heavy transfer portal rebuild. Sam Leavitt, who came from Arizona State, is a dual-threat quarterback, and that gives the Tigers a different look than Auburn's defense will have seen in recent years.

The market agrees on LSU. The best away price is 1.36, against 3.43 for Auburn at home. The main risk to this pick is that LSU has played eight straight weeks without a bye, so a late-season fatigue effect could matter.
