Overview

• Ole Miss starts Division II transfer Trinidad Chambliss at quarterback due to Austin Simmons’ injury, and Chambliss topped 300 passing yards in each of his first two starts.
• LSU enters with one of the nation’s stingiest defenses, allowing 9.2 points per game with no opponent surpassing 10 points or 90 rushing yards this season.
• Sportsbooks list the Rebels as roughly 2-point favorites with the over/under in the mid-to-high 50s, hovering around 56 to 57.5.
• The SportsLine model simulated the game 10,000 times, projecting about 58 combined points and showing one side of the spread cashing in well over 60% of simulations.
• Recent series and venue trends favor the home team, with the host winning five straight and 11 of the last 13, and Ole Miss riding a six-game home win streak.
