Ole Miss vs. LSU Prediction

I’m on Ole Miss here. It’s weird, that both teams haven’t had a tough schedule, but it’s felt a lot more like LSU has something to prove here instead of the Rebels. But at the end of the day, side-by-side, I trust Ole Miss far more in this spot than I do LSU from an offensive standpoint and I trust this Rebels defensive front to get into and live in LSU’s backfield. I think that’s the difference for me here so give me Ole Miss.
