Auburn-LSU thoughts

I’m pumped up about this one. I believe it ought to be one of those knock down, drag out, SEC battles between these two western division foes we’ve grown so accustomed to.
I’ve gone back and forth all week on a prediction. I really believe Auburn has a good chance to win, but something just tells me to go with LSU. That’s the way I went with my Fearless Forecasters choice, but it was far from a confident pick.
Obviously Auburn has a great, great defense. It’s the offense that’s still so much of a mystery going into the fourth game.
I do believe Kodi Burns will get a chance in the game this Saturday night. Here’s believing they need his speed at quarterback in the spread, something Chris Todd doesn’t give them. Todd obviously knows the offense extremely well, and has done OK passing. But for him to keep the starting job, he’s going to have to look a lot sharper getting the ball down field.
If the offense can come around, and I believe it can, Auburn can certainly win this one.
The place should be rocking.
I’m looking forward to it.
