The Rebels are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a ATS loss. The Tigers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games on grass and 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games in October. The under is 12-3 in Rebels last 15 games overall. The under is 4-1 in Tigers last 5 games overall. The Rebels are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 meetings in Louisiana State. The favorite is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 meetings.

The Ole Miss Rebels deserve to be favored given what they’ve done through 7 games, but they have yet to have a tough road game this season and their run defense does concern me a bit. You can run on Ole Miss. The LSU Tigers have been solid for the most part, and it feels like their offense is playing with a bit more consistency. It’s always tough to win at Tiger Stadium. I’ll grab the points with LSU, as this will be the biggest test for Ole Miss yet.
