LSU and Ole Miss set for ranked SEC clash in Kiffin’s Oxford return
No. 7 LSU is listed as a three-point favourite against No. 8 Ole Miss, with SportsLine projecting a lower-scoring contest.
No. 7 LSU will open its SEC campaign against No. 8 Ole Miss on Saturday at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford, in a game framed by Lane Kiffin’s return to the venue.
LSU enters the matchup after a reported 51–10 win over Clemson, while Ole Miss is reported to have beaten Louisville 41–38. LSU has reportedly allowed an average of 12 points per game.
CBS Sports lists LSU as a three-point favourite, with the total set at 58.5 points. The betting lines may change before kick-off and do not establish the result.
SportsLine’s model projects 52 combined points and selects the under as its A-rated pick, with the forecast under landing in 60 per cent of simulations. The projection is a forecast rather than a confirmed outcome.
The model projects LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt for 262 passing yards and Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss for 267. Leavitt was initially listed as doubtful but is reportedly no longer on the injury report.
