This week’s marquee SEC matchup pits the No. 8 LSU Tigers against the No. 14 Texas A&M Aggies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pregame narrative:<\/strong> TAMU quarterback Conner Weigman returned a couple of games ago, and he’s looked strong enough for me to want the over on his passing yards prop. I’m also targeting LSU’s Kyren Lacy as a plus-money anytime TD scorer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Bet: Weigman over 209.5 passing yards (-109)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weigman’s redshirt sophomore year got off to a rough start, as he threw two interceptions in a season-opening loss to Notre Dame and injured his throwing shoulder in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He then aggravated that injury the following week and was sidelined for a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately for Aggies fans, Weigman returned just in time to author a blowout win over then-No. 9 Missouri. He wasn’t as sharp in TAMU’s following game against Mississippi State, but the most important thing is that he came out of it healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In two games since returning from injury, Weigman has thrown for 493 yards with a 70.2% completion rate on 10.5 yards per attempt. And he’s gone over this line both times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The scary part of LSU’s defence is its ability to stop the run, not the pass. The Tigers allow 243.7 pass yards per game, which ranks 102nd in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So although Texas A&M has been a run-heavy team so far \u2014 running the ball in 62.6% of its plays \u2014 I think a more pass-happy approach will be in order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key stat:<\/strong> Five of LSU’s seven opponents have thrown for more than 209.5 passing yards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Lacy anytime TD (+114):<\/strong> You want to talk about a pass-happy offence? That would succinctly describe Brian Kelly’s bunch from Baton Rouge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quarterback Garrett Nussmeier leads the SEC in pass completions, attempts and touchdowns. And though he does well to spread the ball, Lacy is clearly his top target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lacy has six TDs, which is twice as many as any other receiver. He’s also seeing 9.9 targets per game, according to Rotowire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year, Lacy was the WR3 at LSU behind Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr., yet he still managed to snag seven TDs in 13 games. On Saturday, I expect Lacy to match his 2023 total by finding the end zone again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 54.5 points (-113):<\/strong> This game features two top-50 scoring offences and two top-40 scoring defences … so which side wins?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll roll with the offences, especially now that Weigman is looking comfortable under centre for A&M. And historically, he’s been far better on home soil:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Home: 67.1% completion rate, 15 TDs, 2 INTs, 8.9 yards\/attempt<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Road: 52.7% completion rate, 4 TDs, 4 INTs, 5.9 yards\/attempt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The over is 4-2 in TAMU’s past six games, and these teams have combined for 60-plus points in their past two matchups (at TAMU in ’22, at LSU in ’23).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
