LSU vs Ole Miss Prediction

I just can’t bet against Ole Miss at this point with the way they have played this season. They are averaging 79.1 points per game and they are going to put on a show again with the offense here. LSU’s defense is a little worse, giving up 68.9 points per game, and they are going to really struggle to defend here. Ole Miss is going to step up much like they have all season and they will end up covering the spread. Back Ole Miss against the spread.
