00:00Outdated Stinger. You know why? We didn't see Texas and Oklahoma on it as we'll talk

00:16about the Red River Rivalry in just a little bit. But let's start with a top 15

00:22tilt to know in Death Valley. That's Tiger Stadium under the lights. It's 13th

00:27ranked LSU hosting number nine Ole Miss. The running rebs bounced about last week

00:33after a dismal defeat at home in Oxford two Saturdays ago against Kentucky. They

00:39go on the road as a nine-and-a-half point favorite in Columbia, South

00:42Carolina and beat the Gamecocks big 27 to 3. Ole Miss 5-1 straight up

00:49this year. Also 5-1 against the spread. But should any team in the

00:54country be laying more than a field goal in a nighttime game in Death Valley?

00:59Short answer is no. Certainly I'm not gonna back Ole Miss in this spot. Look

01:03Dave, Jackson Dart and this Ole Miss offense have played two lackluster games

01:07back-to-back. I mean this is not a good South Carolina team that they played

01:10last week despite the fact we saw them beating Kentucky. That's I think the

01:13anomaly, the outlier in this situation here. But you know this is an LSU team

01:18right now that's better on the defensive end they have been since last year. When

01:22you look at this team as far as what they're able to do is in holding

01:25opponents to just 21.6 points per game. That's down from 28 last year. Defense

01:30coordinator Blake Baker is getting the team much better. Even if their LSU

01:35defense doesn't play as well as expected, guess what? The Tigers have an offense

01:38that can keep pace with the Rebels. Ole Miss 6 in the country in EPA per

01:42play. LSU is 12. Nussmeyer has quietly put together a great start of the year.

01:47Garrett Nussmeyer the LSU quarterback. This is an offense here that you can

01:51back. I love this spot here for LSU who's 15 and 6 straight up. 13 and 6 ATS

01:56and revenge mode since 2016. This is a great spot here for Brian Kelly as well.

02:01Also abodes some of those great revenge numbers. 19 and 4 straight up. 17 and 4

02:06and 2 ATS with revenge versus a foe coming off a win like Ole Miss is here.

02:11Everything to me screams this spot here for LSU. Don't bet against the Tigers in

02:15Death Valley at night. I'll take the three and a half points.
