I’m going with the Rebels in a close one this week.
It’s not that I think they are the better team right now necessarily. I think the two teams are very close, and there are some matchups that favor Ole Miss that I like in this game, though the Denzel Nkemdiche situation that has come to light muddies things up a bit there.
I grew up in Denham Springs, right outside of Baton Rouge, and LSU folks used to talk about Ole Miss as a fierce rival.
I always found that a little odd, because that was in the ’70s and early ’80s when LSU was winning most of the time in this series.
