SportsLine's model revealed its best bets for Saturday's matchup of the Mississippi State Bulldogs and Lane Kiffin's LSU Tigers

• 2 min read

SEC squads seeking a quick rebound from losses face off in Death Valley, as Lane Kiffin and the No. 22 LSU Tigers host the No. 16 Mississippi State Bulldogs, who list star quarterback Kamario Taylor and running back Fluff Bothwell as doubtful. LSU (4-2, 1-2 SEC) was surprised in a 35-34 OT loss at Kentucky last Saturday, while MSU (4-1, 2-1) was manhandled 56-23 at home by Alabama. Another loss for either team here makes it very difficult to climb back into the SEC title race.

Top Mississippi State vs. LSU predictions

After simulating Mississippi State vs. LSU 10,000 times, SportsLine model is going Over 55.5 points at betting apps. The Over has been successful 60% of games played involving these teams. LSU's offense ranks among the nation's best, averaging 42 points and 525 yards per game. Leavitt has been productive with 1,495 yards and 10 TDs, but turnover issues (he also has eight INTs) and inconsistent late-game execution have caused issues.

The Bulldogs have shown they can win on the road (Minnesota, South Carolina) and beat ranked teams (Missouri), but their defense was exposed against Alabama. 

SportsLine's model is projecting 63 combined points in this one, making the Over the value 64% of the time. See the model's spread and money-line picks at SportsLine.
