On Saturday (October 22), the #7 Ole Miss Rebels (7-0, 3-0) will visit the LSU Tigers (5-2, 3-1) in an SEC matchup. Last year, Ole Miss beat LSU 31-17 at home as a nine-point favorite.
According to BetMGM, Ole Miss has the 11th-best odds at +8000 after seven games to win the College Football Playoff Championship. The Rebels are unbeaten straight up, but with just 3-4 ATS, they still have a lot to prove.
The Rebels have only played opponents from the 70th-ranked strength of the schedule, the lowest among SEC teams, according to Power Ranking Guru.
