Prediction
Ole Miss is the small favorite here, but looking at LSU to cover looks to be the better option. Since LSU’s loss in the opening week to USC, they have continued to get better every week. As for Ole Miss, they have several blowout wins this season but also recently lost to an average Kentucky team at home. Playing in ‘Death Valley’ is likely going to be a much tougher task and this is a game that should be close and come down to the wire.
Both offenses have been able to score points quickly this season and while Ole Miss’ defense has been one of their strongest areas, backing the Tigers to cover will be our best bet as the environment being played in could give LSU an advantage.
Final Pick
LSU Tigers +3.5 (-112)
