Pick: Texas A&M has won seven straight games (6-1 ATS) after dropping four straight games in early February. LSU has won three of four (2-2 ATS), but lost three straight (ATS and SU) prior to that. LSU has also been scoring, dropping at least 77 points in each of the last four games, including 80 or more three times.
The winner of this game will meet the winner of Kentucky-Georgia in the SEC Tournament final. The Tigers need a win on Saturday to keep their NCAA Tournament hopes alive. Seven points is a couple too many, so we'll back LSU in this game.
