I'm on Ole Miss +3.5 on the road to LSU for these reasons:

- I don't trust LSU vs upper ranked teams. Theyve lost to well playing teams not in the top 25: Syracuse, Kstate, and Texas; While also going 0-2 vs top 25 ranked teams Dayton and most recently, Auburn.

- Ole Miss has won and covered the spread the last 2 times these teams have played.

- Ole Miss have only lost to Tennessee on the road, a top 25 team (2-1 road record)

- Ole Miss are shooting 40% from long range compared to LSU who are more of a slower paced team who are more likely to beat you up inside the painted area because they only shoot 33% from deep.

- Ole Miss are very careful with their possessions. 10th ranked in Turnovers given, 18th in AST/TO ratio, and they move the ball well with 16 assists per game.

- Ole Miss have the bigger Gaurds here, and LSU have the bigger postmen which stylistically favors Ole Miss being they are the faster paced team and should win fast break opportunities, while on the other end, using their length at gaurd to contest the shots of the home teams gaurds.

- This line is close, symbolizing a possible late game battle which favors Ole Miss in that scenario, because even though LSU generate more free throws per game, Ole Miss don't allow alot of free throws to be attempted, signifying better defense when contesting physical shot attempts down low which the Tigers will try to get most of their points.
