College Football Week 7 Picks & Predictions: Ole Miss vs. LSU

Ole Miss vs. LSU

This matchup has been rough for Ole Miss when on the road in their recent history with seven straight road losses against LSU. The BP Systems still shows value toward Ole Miss in this game, as Ole Miss has been one of the best defenses in the country. The Rebs defense is currently 3rd in Points allowed Per Game and 1st against the run. The Rebs are only 57th in pass yards allowed per game but are also 15th in Yards/Attempt Allowed and 22nd in Opponent Passer Rating. Ole Miss shines brightest rushing the passer; 24 sacks lead the nation, and they got South Carolina QB Sellers six times last week all without their best pass rusher, Princely Umanmielen. LSU has allowed only two sacks this season, but both came against their only SEC opponent, South Carolina. LSU might have enough defense to keep this close for a bit, but this secondary is leaky, ranking 93rd in passing yards allowed and 103rd in completion percentage allowed. The Tiger’s pass rush is legit with 15 sacks, the run defense is slightly above average, but the secondary is the significant weakness that Ole Miss will likely exploit in this game if the pass rush isn't getting home, they have been strong in coverage as well. This is a difficult environment at night for the road team but it seems like they have the advantage on both sides and this line isn't high enough, lay the points.

Pick: Ole Miss -3
