Chris “The Bear” Fallica made his pick for the LSU-Auburn game during “Big Noon Kickoff.” The veteran analyst doesn’t foresee this game being all that close.
“I don’t think this will be a one-score game,” explained Fallica. “I think this is a good matchup for LSU.” The No. 22 LSU Tigers have been prone to shootout games this season, but Auburn is not a dynamic passing offense.

Fallica pointed to Auburn’s anemic passing attack and LSU’s explosive offense as reasons why LSU could run away with this one.
“I think, there’s no way that Auburn will be able to go point-for-point with LSU,” declared Fallica. “I like LSU to win big today, I think the Bayou Bengals get it done in convincing fashion.”
LSU sports the No. 3 total offense in the nation thus far, while Auburn has just the No. 93 unit. However, Auburn does boast the No. 23 total defense in the nation compared to LSU’s No. 124 unit. Auburn will need to control the time of possession and keep the ball out of Jayden Daniels’ hands.
The Tiger Bowl is set for a 7 p.m. ET kickoff from Baton Rouge.
