LSU will head to Oxford as a slight favorite for Saturday’s highly anticipated matchup against Ole Miss.

The Tigers opened as a 2.5-point road favorite over the Rebels, according to early betting lines released Sunday.

The matchup will feature one of the biggest storylines of the college football season as LSU head coach Lane Kiffin returns to Oxford for the first time since leaving Ole Miss during the Rebels’ College Football Playoff run to take the LSU job.

LSU enters the matchup coming off a 45-14 win over Louisiana Tech, while Ole Miss handled Charlotte on Saturday, 41-9.

Kickoff from Vaught-Hemingway Stadium on Saturday is at 6:30 p.m. CT on ABC.

I expected LSU -4, but I think LSU wins by 2 TD's. Remember, LSU's starters on defense haven't given up a single sustained drive which resulted in points.

We haven’t either and the LSU QB is an interception, not too accurate machine

Ole Miss was favored earlier in the summer! If both teams can put the distractions aside, it should be a good game!

The very first line I saw was -5.5. I think i saw it swing all the way to +1.5, now its back to -3. Lots of folks expecting a close, knock down, drag out, fight to the finish.

Not me. Tigers by 3...touchdowns that is.

I was expecting a -10. They do not have a secondary are are allowing over 500 yards per game playing nonranked teams. I guess vegas is expecting Sam to throw more ints. The problem with that picture is that they have no one capable of catching an int. Is see a 52 - 17 Tiger win based on a good game by Sam. If Sam turns it over, I still see a 35 - 24 Tiger win.

Sam throws 3 picks in the first half at home against tech. I’m sure he’ll handle the pressure in Oxford just fine.

Have you ever been there? It's not the most intimidating place.
