Best Bets? Our DraftKings Sportsbook analysts have you covered:

The Tigers have won each of their last two contests against the Bulldogs, and with QB Jayden Daniels having experience in this matchup, we fully expect them to continue that trend. Similarly, that trend goes back even further - they’ve won seven of their last 10 games against Mississippi State.

However, they’re 5-5 in terms of against the spread, so again, we’d rather not target that betting market. A different trend we can back is the fact that this matchup has stayed under the total in seven of the last 10 meetings. Of course, the most recent are the most important, as turnover in college football is a key aspect of making predictions.

Last season, there were 47 points scored, and the year prior, there were 53 points scored in LSU’s close 28-25 victory. Despite the Tigers’ 72 points this past weekend, they’ll be facing an SEC defense, not Grambling State. Mississippi State has started 2-0 by holding opponents to just 31 points across the first two weeks.

Bulldogs QB Will Rogers is also not on nearly as impressive of a pace as last season with just 389 passing yards on the year this far. They’ll likely want to slow the game down a bit, as will LSU being in one of the most difficult road environments in the country. With all that said, our best LSU vs. Mississippi State prediction is on Under 54.5 points (-110 at DraftKings Sportsbook).
