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

• 2 min read

SEC contenders seeking a quick rebound from losses face off in Death Valley, as Sam Leavitt and the No. 22 LSU Tigers host the No. 16 Mississippi State Bulldogs, who may be without star quarterback Kamario Taylor, who is listed as questionable alongside running back Fluff Bothwell. 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. LSU has won the last three meetings, though this is the first since 2023. Visit our Kalshi promo code review and get a $55 bonus after $25+ in trades with the Kalshi promo code CBSSPORTS55:

Top Mississippi State vs. LSU predictions

After simulating Mississippi State vs. LSU 10,000 times, SportsLine model is going Over 57.5 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 been led by Taylor (1,450 yards, 17 TDs), which makes his availability a key variable. He injured his leg in a win over Missouri, then aggravated it against Alabama. 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.

In addition to going Over on the total, the model also says one side of the spread hits in over 50% of simulations. You can only get the pick at SportsLine.
