BATON ROUGE, La. – The #3 Texas A&M Aggies and #20 LSU Tigers are set for a top-20 matchup in Death Valley at night, where the Aggies are going in as road team favorites.
With an extremely close 2.5-point spread set in favor of Texas A&M on college football prop betting sites, we look to different player props and key injury updates to make our player prop picks for the game.
Le’Veon Moss Injury Update
Texas A&M running back, Le’Veon Moss, has officially been ruled out of Week 9’s matchup against LSU after suffering an ankle injury back in Week 7 against the Florida Gators.
With Moss now out, it leaves Rueben Owens to take over the backfield as the Aggies starting running back until Moss is able to return.
Rueben Owens Takes Backfield In Stride
Rueben Owens Total Rushing Yards
- Over 70.5 -114
- Under 70.5 -114
Owens should eat in this backfield without the split backfield with Moss. He’s already had a slight edge on Moss this season with a higher rushing yard total (396) and yards per carry total (5.7).
Moss has seen 21, 17, and 14 carries in his last three games and totaled 262 yards across those three games for an 87.3 yards per game total over that stretch.
Also, if the odds on Texas sports betting sites do stay true here and the Aggies do get out in front, Owens could be bound for even more rushing work in a run the clock situation.
Garrett Nussmeier Struggles As Receivers Struggle
Garrett Nussmeier Total Passing Yards
- Over 233.5 -115
- Under 233.5 -113
This is the perfect fade spot on Garrett Nussmeier and his passing yard total. For starters, he’s stayed under this mark in two of his last three games.
He now gets a matchup against a matchup against a respectable secondary in Texas A&M, who is allowing just 200.9 passing yards per game this season.
Also, LSU’s top two receivers, Aaron Anderson and Barion Brown, have had struggles in their recent games. Anderson has seen his reception and receiving yard total drop in each of his last four games, with his last two combining for just three receptions for 30 total yards. As for Brown, he hasn’t gone over 40 yards in his last three games.
