Why LSU can cover
The Tigers have protected their home field in recent matchups as they’ve won seven straight in Baton Rouge versus the Rebels. Many of those haven’t been close as LSU has an average margin of victory of 13.2 points over this stretch. Overall, LSU has won 13 straight at home, which is the third-longest active streak in the nation. Meanwhile, Ole Miss has struggled on the road just as much as LSU has dominated at home as Lane Kiffin’s crew is 1-7 over its last eight road games versus AP-ranked opponents.
LSU also has a rest advantage in coming off a bye, while Ole Miss hasn’t played its best ball over the last few weeks. It lost as 17.5-point home favorites two weeks ago to an unranked Kentucky team, and then the offense looked out of sync in a victory a week ago versus South Carolina. Quarterback Jaxson Dart completed under 50% of his pass attempts and ended his eight-game streak with at least one touchdown pass. Also, receiver Tre Harris, who leads the NCAA with 885 receiving yards, left the South Carolina game with a lower-body injury, with his status in question for Saturday. See which team to pick here.
Why Ole Miss can cover
You usually associate Lane Kiffin-coached teams with prolific offenses — and the Rebels have that — but it’s been the defense which has shined for Ole Miss. Its 7.5 ppg allowed is third-fewest in the nation, and the Rebels lead the country in yards per rush allowed (1.8), rushing ypg allowed (63.7) and sacks (24). There are 14 SEC players with at least 6.0 tackles for loss this season, and Ole Miss has five of those 14, including the No. 1 recruit in the Class of 2022, defensive lineman Walter Nolen.
As for that offense, it’s doing its part as Ole Miss is 10th in the nation in scoring (44 ppg). That makes Ole Miss one of four teams in all of college football to rank in the top 10 in both scoring offense and scoring defense. Running back Henry Parrish Jr., ranks third in the conference with 570 rushing yards and is third with nine touchdowns on the ground. As a team, the Rebels rank second in the country with 8.1 yards per play and third with an average of 7.7 plays of 20+ yards per game. See which team to pick here.
