Ole Miss A Great Bet To Bounce Back
Ole Miss may have lost its last outing, but that should just light a fire under the Rebels. They are 8-0 SU in their past eight games following a loss while averaging 43.9 points per game in those outings. The Rebels will get their chance at redemption when they visit Death Valley on Saturday to take on LSU.
The Rebels have simply not been able to beat good teams this season, as they are 1-3 SU and 2-2 ATS against ranked opponents. Those games saw the Ole Miss defense fold, with the team giving up 35.3 points per game.
LSU is basically playing like you would assume LSU would, as the Tigers run the ball and play defense. The Tigers are averaging 228 rushing yards per game while holding opponents to 14 points per game. Quarterback Danny Etling is doing what is asked of him, as the junior has thrown six touchdowns with only two picks in five outings this season.
