LSU Tigers against Mississippi Rebels in Week 12 Battle

LSU Tigers and the Mississippi Rebels will fight on Saturday at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.

After their previous week’s battle in Tuscaloosa, was it any surprise that the Tigers took off the fi rst half of last week’s game against Western Kentucky?

Not to us, as we basically had the margin (LSU by 34) pegged. And like WKU, can Ole Miss really be taken seriously... especially with Arkansas on deck?

Yes, the Rebs are an SEC team but hell, let’s face it, they were home dogs to Louisiana Tech. And with the striped ones 6-1 ATS as conference road favorites of 13 or more points, the only real concern for the Mad Hatter is that look-ahead to Boss Hog and company.

However, a concern for our bankroll is LSU’s seven ATS wins in 28 conference games under Miles when playing off back-to-back SU wins.

Not to mention lame-duck HC Houston Nutt’s home fi nale: Nutt is 68-29 SU at home in his career with only four of those losses coming by more than 20 points.

That makes him 83-4 ATS to this four-touchdown-plus number! Is there really any reason to buck that?
We say no as Ole Miss improves to 6-1 ATS as home dogs of 15 or more points and sends Nutt out of Oxford with a moral victory (though next week’s trip to Starkville may be a different story).

Once again we say take it or leave it.

The Tigers listed as 28½-point favorites against the Rebels, and the game's total is sitting at 46.
