The Final Betting Lines: LSU Football vs. South Carolina Gamecocks in Week 7 Clash
No. 11 LSU (4-1, 1-1 SEC) continues putting the final touches on game preparation ahead of Saturday night’s SEC matchup against Shane Beamer and the South Carolina Gamecocks.
Following an open date in Week 6, Brian Kelly and the Bayou Bengals have pressed the reset button with an opportunity to make a statement against an SEC foe.
It’s no secret the LSU offense has struggled in 2025 with multiple contributing factors across the first five games, but one thing remains clear – there remains effort from the unit as a whole.
“I mean, even with everything that they’re kind of going through, they still come out and continue to fight. And they don’t change anything up. I mean, they came out [Tuesday] and it felt like a game,” LSU EDGE Jimari Butler said.
“So they just keep continuing to go out with everything that’s happening to them. That speaks volumes because a lot of people would have just given up. [Tuesday] was a physical practice. We did a picket run, play action; it was banging to death.”
Now, with the LSU Tigers eyeing a bounce back win at Tiger Stadium, the program enters the the SEC clash as near double-digit favorites.

LSU enters the Week 7 matchup as 8.5-point favorites with an opportunity to bounce back and make a statement against an SEC foe.
“We simulate crowd noise in practice, just like we did at Missouri. We’ll do it all week. But you can’t fully simulate 100,000-plus LSU fans, many of them probably heavily intoxicated. That’s what makes college football great.
“At the same time, you control the crowd by how you play. That’s what we need to focus on: Playing winning football to minimize their impact.”

Garrett Nussmeier’s struggling LSU offense is expected to face South Carolina on Saturday without one of its top weapons.
ESPN reported on Friday that Aaron Anderson, the Tigers’ leading receiver, is considered doubtful to play, though he was still listed as questionable on the availability report that LSU released Friday evening. Coach Brian Kelly has said that redshirt junior who exited LSU’s Sept. 27 loss to Ole Miss with an elbow strain is also battling toe and knee injuries.
On Thursday, Kelly said Anderson was “day-to-day.”
“He’s steadily gotten better each week,” Kelly said. “Today, he was (running) 19.5 miles per hour, so he’s above 85%, which will put him into some practice, so we’ll go again tomorrow.”
LSU also ruled left guard Paul Mubenga (ankle) out of the game against the Gamecocks on its latest availability report. Right tackle Weston Davis (concussion), running back Caden Durham (ankle) and defensive tackle Ahmad Breaux were not listed, which means they will each be available to play.
Anderson is an Algiers native who once starred at Edna Karr. This season, he’s caught 23 passes for 305 yards. He was also the Tigers’ leading receiver in 2024, when he tallied 61 receptions, 884 yards and five touchdowns in a breakout year.
LSU’s matchup with South Carolina will kick off at 6:45 p.m. Saturday on the SEC Network.
