LSU and Ole Miss meet in ranked SEC test shaped by Kiffin’s return
Seventh-ranked LSU visits eighth-ranked Ole Miss on 19 September, with the Tigers listed as three-point favourites.
Seventh-ranked LSU will visit eighth-ranked Ole Miss at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium on 19 September in a Week 3 Southeastern Conference matchup that brings LSU coach Lane Kiffin back to his former team.
Kick-off is scheduled for 7.30pm ET. LSU is listed as a three-point favourite, while the points total is set at 58.5.
CBS Sports reports that LSU beat Louisiana Tech 45–14 in Week 2 and Ole Miss defeated Charlotte 41–9. LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt, previously listed as doubtful, is reportedly off the injury report.
LSU leads the all-time series 66–44–4, but Ole Miss has won three of the past five meetings. The Rebels won last year’s contest 24–19, while the under has reportedly landed in four of the past five head-to-head games.
SportsLine analyst Tom Fornelli is backing the under at 58.5 points, priced at -105. His recommendation is a prediction ahead of the game, rather than an outcome.
