LSU vs. Ole Miss analysis, player props and picks
LSU has bounced back well from its season-opening loss to Florida State by crushing Grambling, dominating Mississippi State and taking down Arkansas with a last-second field goal. Jayden Daniels has led the way, completing 78% of his passes for 316 YPG and 11 touchdowns with one interception.
With the rushing attack chipping in 189 YPG, the LSU offense is ranked No. 7 in the nation, averaging 530 yards and 42.8 PPG.
The Tigers defense will have its hands full against a tough Ole Miss offense fresh off its first loss of the season last week against Alabama. Like LSU, the Rebels have a high-powered offense led by one of the better passing games in the country (No. 13 with 323.5 YPG).
After getting out to a 7-6 halftime lead against Alabama last week, they struggled in the second half as the Bama defense picked up the intensity. The Tide defense held them to a field goal in the half.
But they will not see as much pressure from LSU as from Alabama. The Tigers defense ranks No. 12 in the SEC in sacks and No. 10 in tackles for a loss.
Bets to consider:
LSU
Both teams have similar approaches. They both lead with the passing game on offense while running the ball enough to keep opposing defenses honest. Both offenses have been productive this season, but LSU has a slight edge due to superior talent.
On the defensive side of the ball, Ole Miss has the edge since its front seven is more disruptive than LSU's. However, the Tigers defense can hold its own, and LSU has the better offense between the two.
It will be an exciting, fun game to watch that LSU should win by a field goal.
Passing Yards
Ole Miss hasn't faced a prolific passing attack this season but has still given up 226.2 YPG. Jayden Daniels is averaging 324 YPG this season. He'll have no trouble clearing 279.5 yards against the Rebels defense.
As for Jaxson Dart, he is averaging 274 YPG and threw for 244 last week against an Alabama defense that barely gave him time to breathe in the second half. But since Ole Miss will probably play catch-up for much of the game, he'll throw the ball enough to go over his total.
Passing Touchdowns
Daniels has 12 touchdown passes this season and has had over 2.5 in two of four games. The Ole Miss defense looks stingy, having given up just 18.5 PPG, but their opponents have been soft outside of Alabama. LSU will throw early and often; Daniels should have at least three touchdowns.
Dart did not throw a touchdown pass last weekend against the Tide and only had one against Georgia Tech. But after seeing KJ Jefferson throw three against LSU last week, Lane Kiffen will set his quarterback up for success in the red zone. He should have at least two Saturday.
Receiving Yards
Malik Nabers
Nabers has a few things working for him in this matchup: (1) the Ole Miss secondary has yet to face someone as talented as him, and (2) he's Jordan Daniels' favorite target. He's made 32 receptions this season for 523 yards and has cleared 90.5 yards in his last two games.
Daniels knows who he can count on and will go to Nabers early and often in this game.
Brian Thomas Jr.
Nabers may be Daniels' favorite target, but Thomas is a close second. He's had at least five catches in every game (25 total) and cleared 68.5 receiving yards in three (had 60 yards in the other). When Daniels is not throwing to Nabers, he's throwing to Thomas.
Like Nabers, he'll see the ball enough to surpass his total.
