Mississippi's defense turned a corner last week with seven sacks against Kent State. They were disruptive at and behind the line of scrimmage and allowed the opposing RBs to gain just 83 yards on 21 carries. The Rebels are 40-18-1 UNDER the total on the road against a team with a winning home record. They head to face another dominant LSU defense ranked #15 in points surrendered (14.8 ppg), top 10 against the run allowing just 91.8 yards per game. The Tigers are on a 22-10-2 run UNDER the total, including 15-7-1 UNDER against winning teams. LSU likes to run the football but the passing attack is weak with QB Joe Burrow completing just 49% of his passes. For this game, the LSU offensive line is banged up. All-SEC guard Garrett Brumfield left the game against Louisiana Tech with a knee injury and won't play. True freshman Chasen Hines filled in for him. LT Saahdiq Charles has been out with an injury and is listed as questionable, while RT Adrian Magee is out indefinitely. The line as a whole will be on its fifth starting lineup of the young season. LSU is on a 21-8-1 run UNDER the total in SEC tilts and this shapes up as another defensive slugfest. Play the UNDER.
