College Football Betting Trends
Ole Miss
The Rebels are just 7-16 against the spread in their last 23 home games and 1-6 ATS in their last seven games following a win.
LSU
The Tigers have covered the spread in six straight road games and in 14 of their last 19 conference games.
Prediction:
LSU has won and covered the spread in three straight against Ole Miss. I do expect the Tigers to have a letdown in some ways this week, but I think it will come on offense. LSU struggled on offense following the win over Florida. The Tigers probably will not be as explosive today. However, I still think they can cover. The LSU defense is still pretty strong and the Ole Miss offense isn’t very intimidating. I expect LSU to be able to comfortably win this game, it will just be a little lower scoring than usual for the Tigers.
