Ole Miss vs LSU Prediction

The current betting odds have Ole Miss listed as a 1.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Ole Miss is off to a very hot start this year as they are undefeated through 7 games so far and their offense has picked up right where it left off last season, despite losing their starting QB Matt Corral to the NFL draft. Ole Miss is now in the driver seat of their division after the Alabama loss since they are the only undefeated team left and they can make it to the title game if they maintain that all season. Lane Kiffin has had a chip on his shoulder and he is looking to build up this Ole Miss program into the next SEC powerhouse. He has a much better defense than he had last year and their offense still puts up a ton of points in their games. LSU is having a decent year under their new head coach Brian Kelly but they already have 2 losses under their belt and their defense has been really bad in their games. They have already taken some questionable losses and that defense is giving up too many points to keep them in a game against an offense like this. Ole Miss is going to be coming for the win here and looking to stay undefeated as they search for the SEC title this season. The best way to place a bet here is on Ole Miss to cover the spread in this game.
