The LSU Tigers are 20-1 SU following a loss under Les Miles<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

LSU stays on the road, as it attempts to bounce back from a 44-41 defeat to the Georgia Bulldogs as three-point road underdogs last Saturday, while going OVER the betting total for a fifth consecutive contest.\u00a0 The Tigers have won 20 of their last 21 games against the Rebels, which can\u2019t be ignored when making your college football predictions in Week 6.\u00a0 The program is 20-1 under head coach Les Miles following a loss, while it has scored 30 or more points in the first five games of a season for the first time in school history.\u00a0 LSU is 4-1 SUATS as favorites of 3.5 to 10 points the last two-plus seasons, with the UNDER going 3-2 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Tigers had their streak of 34 consecutive wins when scoring at least 30 points snapped last week, which is important to consider when looking over the college football odds page.\u00a0 LSU is averaging 474 yards per game, with quarterback Zach Mettenberger leading the way, as he\u2019s thrown for 1,398 yards and 13 touchdowns, including a career-high 372 yards against the Bulldogs.<\/p>\n

Mississippi State will face a ranked opponent in this series for the 12th consecutive year, as it looks to build off a 62-7 victory over the Troy Trojans as 13.5-point home favorites on Sept. 21, while going OVER the betting total of 58.\u00a0 The Bulldogs\u2019 depth chart on both sides of the football features just six starting seniors, while it possesses 12 freshman.\u00a0 In this year\u2019s two home games, the program has outscored its opponents by a 82-7 margin in the first half, including a 56-0 advantage in the second quarter.\u00a0 Mississippi State is 0-11 SU and 3-8 ATS as underdogs the last two-plus seasons.<\/p>\n

The Bulldogs are plus-five in turnovers this season, which is the top mark in the SEC due to forcing eight opponents\u2019 miscues and committing just three.\u00a0 Mississippi State quarterback Dak Prescott is off to a solid start, as he\u2019s tied for sixth in the conference with nine total touchdowns, while racking up 924 total yards.\u00a0 In 51 drives this season, the team has held opponents to three plays or less on 47.1 percent of the time.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Tigers due to the favorite being 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings in this series.<\/p>\n
