Why Bet on LSU?

The Tigers (4-2, 2-1 SEC) will welcome back star running back Leonard Fournette. Fournette has missed three games this season, including the last two, because of a nagging ankle injury he initially suffered in an August scrimmage. Fournette ran for 100-plus yards in all three games in which he played this season, but he was still visibly struggling to overcome the ankle injury. He has not played since the Sept. 24 loss at Auburn. In three starts while Fournette was sidelined, Derrius Guice ran for six touchdowns and averaged 160 rushing yards per game and 9.2 yards per carry. The Tigers will now use both backs to keep them fresh.LSU went out of conference last week and beat Southern Miss 45-10. LSU quarterback Danny Etling connected on touchdown passes of 80 and 63 yards, while running back Derrius Guice had touchdown runs of 61 and 20 yards in a 28-point third-quarter outburst that ended the Eagles’ upset bid. The Tigers extended a non-conference winning streak to 47 games in Tiger Stadium. Etling completed 11-of- 18 passes for a season-high 276 yards with three touchdowns and his first interception in 104 pass attempts.LSU brings one of the top rated defenses in the SEC into the Ole Miss game as the Tigers are No. 2 in the league in scoring defense (14.0 points per game) and rush defense (103.7 yards per game), No. 3 in total defense (312.0 yards per game), and No. 5 in pass defense (208.3 yards per game). LSU is also limiting opponents to just 30.9 percent (30-of- 97) on third-down conversions.LSU and Ole Miss have split its last four games with the home team winning each time.
