Both of these teams come into this matchup towards the bottom of the SEC standings, so there isn’t much on the line here. LSU is shooting 47% from the field and they have allowed at least 83 points in four of their last five games. Ole Miss is shooting 44% from the field and they have allowed 90+ points in three of their last four games. I don’t trust either defense in this game, but LSU has been competitive in their last three games. Take the Tigers on the road here.
