Next season, we will see the path to the playoffs be a little less tough to navigate, with 12 teams set to go to the postseason starting in 2024. For now, it’s still just 4 teams that get in, which is not good news for teams in a conference that has a very definite favorite. That is where we are at in the SEC. where Georgia very much rules the roost in the East, while Alabama leads the way in the West. The Crimson Tide has looked fragile this season, though, which could potentially open the door for another team in the division. Both LSU and Ole Miss seem to be in the conversation, with the Tigers looking to win the division for the second straight season. Both teams come into Week 4 with a loss already, so this one is huge in a number of different ways.

Why bet on the LSU Tigers

The Tigers came into the season as one of the sexy picks to make the postseason, but they were absolutely humbled in a Week 1 thumping at the hands of the Florida State Seminoles. If there is a silver lining to be taken from that one, it’s that it wasn’t a conference loss, plus it came at the hands of a team who are making their own push for a playoff spot. The Tigers are not out of the conversation even with that defeat, but they do need to be perfect from this point forward if they are going to be in the final four conversation once the Playoff Committee starts delivering their rankings. They have won 3 in a row since that Week 1 loss and are 2-0 in conference play, so it’s not all doom and gloom. They have won 6 of the last 7 versus Ole Miss, as well as being 5-1-1 ATS in those games. 6 of their last 9 visits to Oxford have ended with the point total going OVER.

Why bet on the Ole Miss Rebels

The Rebels are suddenly behind the 8-ball in the race for the SEC West Division after losing to Alabama last weekend. Their usually strong offense was unable to get anything done versus the Crimson Tide, with Ole Miss eventually running out 24-10 losers. The harsh reality is that if they lose this one, too, their chances of making it to the Conference Championship Game will essentially go from slim to none. The bad news for the Rebels is that they have had almost zero success against LSU in recent years, but on the positive side of things, they are at home, where they have won 16 of their last 18 games overall. While they are 5-2 ATS in the month of November, they are also just 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 games versus teams from the SEC West. The UNDER has hit in 4 of their last 6 games overall.

College Football Expert Pick and Series Prediction

I think this one is going to be as close as the bookies predict, with the game potentially coming down to who gets the ball last. The spread makes me nervous, but I am leaning toward LSU for the SU win.
