LSU now a slight favorite against No. 7 Ole Miss in Wednesday betting odds update

The Tigers are now a 1.5-point favorite against a top-10 team.

The Tigers have another crucial matchup coming up in this weekend’s Magnolia Bowl against the Ole Miss Rebels, who rank as the No. 7 team in the country and are a perfect 7-0 on the season.

LSU didn’t fare well in its first attempt at a top-10 team in Tennessee two weeks ago, but after opening as a one-point underdog against the Rebels, coach Brian Kelly’s team is now a 1.5-point favorite against Mississippi, per BetMGM.

Here’s where the point spread, over/under and money line for Saturday’s game sit, as of 10 a.m. CT on Wednesday morning. As you’ll see, the already high over/under has increased even further and the Tigers are now the money-line favorite, as well.

Team Spread Total – O/U Money Line
Ole Miss +1.5
-110
O 66.5
-110
+100
LSU -1.5
-110
U 66.5
-110
-120

Ole Miss’ signature win this season came at home against Kentucky after it forced a couple of timely fumbles from Will Levis. The Rebels are coming off a 48-34 win over Auburn at home that proved to be a bit too close for comfort.

At 5-2 and 3-1 in SEC play, LSU is already overachieving in a rebuilding year under Kelly. But if it can get the win on Saturday, it will control its own destiny in the SEC West heading into a matchup against Alabama.
