The Sporting News: LSU 30, Mississippi State 23
Bill Bender writes: "Mississippi State is coming off a bye
week — and Kamario Taylor has at least three TD passes in every game this season. The Bulldogs had four turnovers in the 56-23 loss to Alabama on Oct. 3. The Tigers are 2-2 ATS at home this season, but a first-half hangover from the Kentucky loss might be in effect. If Mississippi State's run defense holds up, it could get interesting late."

Bill Speros writes: "Cats and Dogs reign in Baton Rouge. But Death Valley loses its mystique and aura at 11 a.m. local time. Lane Kiffin this season assembled the "Worst Team A Lot Of Money Can Buy" in Baton Rouge. Thank goodness LSU fans can laugh at those 'Fansville' spots. Otherwise, their season has been a tearjerker. The Tigers got caught in the Kroger Field trap, losing outright 35-34 in overtime at Kentucky as 10.5-point favorites. With two SEC losses, it's on to the portal and 2027 for LSU (4-2/2-4 ATS). Mississippi State remains a pesky out on the road, with wins at South Carolina and Minnesota. Our model has LSU winning by 11.5, but the intangibles lean toward the Bulldogs, who are coming off a bye."
