LSU Tigers vs Auburn Tigers Predictions October 24, 2026

Game time: October 24, 2026 at 12:00 PM ET

Venue: Jordan-Hare Stadium — Auburn, AL

Article updated Oct 18, 8:23 AM EDT

By SportsJaw Editorial Team

LSU is the pick to beat Auburn 27-24 on October 24, with Sam Leavitt’s efficient passing and Dilin Jones’ rushing and receiving production giving the visitors a slight edge. Auburn’s road victory over No. 1 Georgia is a substantial counterweight. Confidence is low, and the supplied spread and total prices offer no compelling wager. The official SportsJaw recommendation is Pass.

LSU Tigers vs Auburn Tigers prediction and best bet

LSU gets the winning pick because its latest performance offers an appealing offensive combination: accurate passing, production from Jones in two roles and no interceptions from Leavitt. That is the foundation for a narrow victory, rather than a prediction that LSU will control every phase.

Auburn brings a serious challenge after beating No. 1 Georgia on the road. Its quarterback running game and takeaway production make LSU a fragile selection at the supplied prices. The best bet is Pass. Picking LSU to win does not make LSU -5.5 (-114) attractive, and a close-game forecast alone is insufficient reason to back Auburn +5.5 (-106).

LSU Tigers outlook

LSU beat Mississippi State 31-0 in Baton Rouge on October 17. Leavitt completed 31 of 38 passes for 289 yards and four touchdowns without an interception. His accuracy is the strongest reason to favor LSU, although one excellent afternoon should not be treated as a guaranteed repeat against Auburn.

Jones rushed for 84 yards on 14 carries and added 58 yards on eight receptions. That involvement gives the forecast more substance than passing totals alone: LSU received meaningful production from the same player on the ground and through the air. Jackson Harris contributed 48 receiving yards and two touchdowns on three catches.

Defensively, LSU denied Mississippi State on four successive fourth-down attempts, including one at the LSU 6-yard line. TJ Dottery finished with 12 tackles, and Davhon Keys added 10 tackles and half a sack. Those results strengthen the case for LSU in scoring situations, but they are evidence from the Mississippi State game rather than a season-long defensive profile.

Auburn Tigers outlook

Auburn defeated No. 1 Georgia 27-24 at Sanford Stadium on October 17, with Alex McPherson making a 34-yard field goal as time expired. Byrum Brown supplied 115 rushing yards and a touchdown on 26 carries while completing 15 of 26 passes for 150 yards and another score.

Brown’s rushing workload makes him central to this matchup. Jeremiah Cobb also gained 61 yards on 13 carries, while Chas Nimrod caught six passes, including a touchdown. Auburn finished with 366 total yards, showing that its upset included substantial offensive production alongside the defensive takeaways.

Auburn forced three turnovers. Elijah Melendez contributed nine tackles, a sack, a tackle for loss and an interception. In the final minute, Cody Sigler forced a fumble that Sylvester Smith-Reed recovered. That disruption is Auburn’s strongest counterargument to the LSU pick, although forecasting another three takeaways would put too much weight on one game.

Key matchup factors

The central question is whether LSU can preserve possession against Auburn’s disruptive defense. Leavitt’s interception-free outing is encouraging, but it does not answer every ball-security question. Auburn’s recent takeaways included a forced fumble, so this matchup extends beyond the quarterback’s passing decisions.

Brown’s running presents a different test from the fourth-down situations LSU handled against Mississippi State. The forecast gives LSU credit for those stops without assuming they translate directly against a quarterback who just carried 26 times.

The teams’ contrasting victories also limit confidence. LSU produced a shutout at home; Auburn won a close game on the road against the No. 1 team. Neither result supplies a clean comparison of these opponents, making a small LSU edge more defensible than a strong favorite endorsement.

LSU Tigers vs Auburn Tigers spread prediction

Spread recommendation: Pass on LSU -5.5 (-114) and Auburn +5.5 (-106). The projected three-point LSU victory falls inside Auburn’s spread, so the score points toward the underdog mechanically.

That modest cushion is not enough for an official Auburn wager. The projection remains sensitive to turnovers and to how effectively LSU handles Brown’s rushing threat. LSU’s recent offensive execution gives it a plausible route to a larger margin, while Auburn’s Georgia performance keeps an outright upset in play. Neither side offers a sufficiently persuasive edge at its supplied price.

LSU Tigers vs Auburn Tigers total prediction

Total recommendation: Pass on Over 51.5 (-110) and Under 51.5 (-110). The forecast totals 51 points, just half a point below the line. That difference is too small to justify an Under recommendation.

LSU’s shutout supplies the clearest defensive argument, while both offenses showed scoring potential in their October 17 wins. Turnovers and fourth-down outcomes could materially change scoring opportunities. With no convincing separation between the projected total and 51.5, the total remains a Pass independently of the spread decision.

LSU Tigers vs Auburn Tigers projected score

Game forecast: LSU Tigers 27, Auburn Tigers 24. Leavitt’s passing efficiency and Jones’ versatility give LSU the narrow winning edge. Auburn’s victory at Georgia, Brown’s rushing production and its defensive takeaways make the strongest case against that selection.

Confidence is low because both teams bring credible winning arguments and the forecast relies heavily on their latest performances. LSU is the projected winner; both betting markets are passes. The single official SportsJaw betting lean is Pass.
