What are the odds? LSU opens as 10.5-point favorites in their Week 7 matchup vs. Mississippi State

The LSU Tigers return to Tiger Stadium this Saturday for a critical SEC showdown against the high-scoring Mississippi State Bulldogs, seeking to rebound from a narrow overtime loss to Kentucky. The Bulldogs, averaging nearly 40 points per game under quarterback Kamario Taylor, pose a major offensive challenge for a Tigers defense still searching for answers.

For LSU, the focus will be on limiting explosive plays, pressuring Taylor, and maintaining offensive efficiency from quarterback Sam Leavitt, who must build on recent inconsistency. With two SEC losses already, the stakes are high—this game could determine whether LSU can regain momentum or face further setbacks.

Current odds favor LSU by 10.5 points, though the line may shift as the week progresses, with the over/under set at 59.5 total points. The matchup kicks off at 11 a.m.

CT, offering a test of resilience for both programs in a conference where every point matters.
