Texas vs LSU | Saturday, Nov. 14, 2026 at 7:30 p.m. ET | Tiger Stadium, Baton Rouge, LA | ABC
The Longhorns are 7-2, ranked No. 7 and playing their best football of the season. They beat Mississippi State 31-3, edged Ole Miss 34-27 and went into Columbia last week to beat Missouri 34-20. Texas also owns a road win at Tennessee. Under head coach Steve Sarkisian, this team has shown it can handle hostile environments.
LSU Needs an Answer
LSU is 6-3 and ranked No. 14 under first-year head coach Lane Kiffin. The Tigers rolled through October with wins over Auburn and Mississippi State, but last week’s 31-13 loss to Alabama exposed an offense that stalled repeatedly. Now they face another top-10 opponent with their playoff hopes on the line.

| Texas | +150 | +4.5 | O 45.5 |
| LSU | -185 | -4.5 | U 45.5 |
The Pick: Texas +4.5
The line reflects LSU’s home-field edge, but it doesn’t match the form of these two teams. Texas is the hotter team, has the better recent résumé and has already won on the road against quality SEC opponents. LSU’s offense struggled to move the ball last week, and a Texas defense that’s been one of the better units in the conference should give the Tigers similar problems.
Getting more than a field goal with the team playing better right now is a strong spot. Take the Longhorns and the points. Your $350 in FanCash arrives win or lose.
What to Watch
The quarterback matchup will decide this one. Arch Manning has to handle one of the SEC’s most aggressive pass rushes in one of its loudest stadiums. Sam Leavitt needs a bounce-back game after last week. Whoever protects the football better probably wins.
Two top-15 teams, a night game in Death Valley and a home underdog worth backing. New users can bet $20 on Texas vs. LSU and get $350 in FanCash with Fanatics Sportsbook promo code FOXNEWS350.
