#4 LSU vs #13 Ole Miss NCAAF Pick: SEC Rivalry Battle in Week 5 (Sep 27)

• LSU is coming off a massive win 56-10 against Southeastern Louisiana, they are currently 4-0.
• Ole Miss, who is also 4-0, is coming off a recent 45-10 blowout over Tulane.
• The last meeting between these two, LSU had a 29-26 walk off overtime win on October 12th, 2024.

As with longtime rivals, tensions are high as LSU and Ole Miss want to stay undefeated heading into next week. The matchup, which is better known as the Magnolia Bowl, promises to be tight as Ole Miss want revenge from their last year’s overtime loss to the Tigers.

LSU Looking to Prove Themselves

The Tigers are looking to silence any doubters when they head over to Lane Kiffin to tend to their rivals. Currently at 4-0 and have shown their opponents that not only are they well stacked on offense but also have a solid defense.

LSU is holding opponents to 9.25 points per game. Their offense was on display last week with a 56-point offensive onslaught, demonstrating a great mix between run and pass. A win against Ole Miss will prove doubters wrong and cement themselves in playoff conversations.

Ole Miss Are Out for Revenge

Ole Miss has been on a tear offensively this season, averaging 44.75 points per game. Now, can they expect to do the same against LSU, a team who hasn’t been scored on by more than 10 points this season?

If they are able to contain LSU’s offense while at the same time score something close to their averages, it will be huge for the Rebels. LSU won last year’s game in overtime, having never led during the whole game until the last walk off touchdown so this is probably still stinging a bit.

When it comes to rivalries like these, it’s a whole different matchup, as both teams will be looking to push the extra mile to get their statement win. Ole Miss, without a doubt, is going to look to protect their home field advantage.

They also have favorable spread of -1.5, which is a great opportunity to prove their worth. For this game though, it looks like LSU is better equipped on both offense and defensive. Count on the Tigers beating the spread and bringing a victory back to Louisiana.
