LSU picked up a 34-31 win last Saturday vs. the Arkansas Razorbacks to stay undefeated in conference play. QB Jayden Daniels was stellar, completing 20 of 29 passes for 320 yards, 4 TDs and 1 INT. Daniels led the Tigers on a 9-play, 72-yard drive to put the Tigers in field goal range before K Damian Ramos made the game-winning kick.
Ole Miss suffered its 1st loss on the season Saturday, losing 24-10 vs. the Alabama Crimson Tide. QB Jaxson Dart struggled, completing 20 of 35 passes for 244 yards and 1 INT while also rushing for 6 yards and 1 TD. The Rebels’ rushing attack was non-existent vs. the Crimson Tide as they ran for 56 yards on 29 carries as a team, averaging 1.9 yards per carry.

LSU at Ole Miss picks and predictions
Prediction
LSU 45, Ole Miss 30
Moneyline
BET LSU (-145).
LSU is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings with Ole Miss and went on a 5-game win streak during that stretch. I like Daniels more than I like Dart and I expect Ole Miss’ lack of a run game to prove to be detrimental in this matchup. I expect LSU’s offense which averages 530 yards per game to shred this Ole Miss defense.
Against the spread
LEAN LSU -2.5 (-115).
I expect LSU to come out and be pass-heavy after seeing Ole Miss allow 10.7 yards per pass attempt vs. Alabama. I also believe that the Rebels’ struggles in the run game will continue and will force them to be very pass-reliant, removing the element of surprise and allowing LSU’s defense to really key in on the passing game.
Over/Under
LEAN OVER 67.5 (-110).
Both of these teams have very high-powered offenses and very talented quarterbacks. LSU’s lowest scoring game came in its week 1 45-24 loss vs. FSU, but since then the Tigers have not scored fewer than 34 points.
The Rebels averaged 52.6 points per game in their 1st 3 games before struggling offensively vs. Alabama. These teams have gone Over 67.5 twice in their last 4 meetings.
