Who will win LSU vs Ole Miss?
Chris Vasile's Week 3 moneyline picks are siding with the home team to get revenge on their former head coach.
Our prediction: Ole Miss to win — Yes (42%)
"LSU's defense is the best unit in this game, but Ole Miss has enough advantages elsewhere for me to call the upset.
Trinidad Chambliss has completed 71% of his passes for 561 yards and five touchdowns through two games, and he threw for 314 yards in last year's 24-19 win over LSU.
In a game where I expect points to be difficult to come by, I trust Chambliss and the Rebels to make fewer mistakes and find enough offense to win at home."

LSU vs Ole Miss spread prediction
(-2.5)Our prediction: LSU -2.5 — Yes (54%)
While Chris is rolling with the Rebels, Rob Paul’s LSU vs. Ole Miss prediction can’t look past the Tigers’ elite stop unit:
"While Kiffin and Trinidad Chambliss are the biggest names in this game, the defenses should be the biggest talking point. LSU has one of the most impactful defenses in the country, ranking third nationally in havoc rate (30.2%) and Top 10 in both EPA per pass and rush.
And though Ole Miss head coach Pete Golding was Kiffin's defensive coordinator, the Rebels are lacking on that side of the ball. Ole Miss' defense ranks third-to-last in the SEC in havoc rate (15.5%).
With LSU's defensive advantage, I like the Tigers to cover at -3.5 or better in the No. 1-ranked game in my college football Top 25 predictions for Week 3."
LSU vs Ole Miss total prediction
Our prediction: Over 57.5 — No (52%)
Rob Paul also expects points to be at a premium:
"It's hard to imagine Leavitt actually missing this game, but even if he plays, LSU might struggle early on offense.
This environment will be insane as Kiffin returns to The Vaught, and between the Rebels' home-field advantage and Leavitt's history of sporadic play (26.1% pressure-to-sack rate, 4 INTs this season), LSU's offense could take time to get on track.
However, it's the LSU defense that should do the heavy lifting for the Under. The Tigers are ranked No. 2 on defense by SP+ and have allowed just 24 points through two games.
If LSU's vaunted pass rush pressures Chambliss, consistent scoring drives will be hard to come by for Ole Miss. I like the Under at 56.5 or better."

LSU vs. Ole Miss player props
Prop 1: Trinidad Chambliss Over 277.5 passing yards — Yes (53%)
Rob Paul’s favorite LSU vs. Ole Miss props lead off with Heisman candidate Trinidad Chambliss airing it out in prime time.
"There is a little cushion here, as I'd take the Over for Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss's passing yards prop up to 280.5 yards.
Chambliss has thrown for 282+ yards in 10 of his 15 starts at Ole Miss, including five of his seven conference games. He threw for 336 yards against Louisville in his season opener and 225 yards last week vs. Charlotte.
However, the Rebels obviously didn't need Chambliss to drop back often because they beat Charlotte 41-9 and were up 27-0 at the end of the first half. Ole Miss will need Chambliss to put on the cape against LSU, one of the best teams in the country.
He has performed well against strong competition. Chambliss went Over his passing yards prop in all three of his College Football Playoff games last season."
Prop 2: Deuce Alexander Over 71.5 receiving yards — Yes (53%)
"Give me the Over on Rebels wide receiver Deuce Alexander's receiving yards prop as long as it stays below 74 yards.
Not only does this correlate with Chambliss's Over, but Alexander is his most productive returning wideout from last year's team. Alexander has gone Over this number in his first two games, gaining 76 receiving yards vs. Charlotte and 159 yards against Louisville.
Alexander is projected by Pro Football Focus (PFF) to be covered by LSU cornerback D.J. Pickett, and Pickett is LSU's lowest-graded defensive back through the first two games."
Prop 3: Kewan Lacey Over 84.5 rushing yards — No (53%)
"Ole Miss running back Kewan Lacy's Under rushing prop is good down to 82.5 yards.
LSU has completely taken away its opponents' rushing attacks in the first two games. The Tigers rank 19th nationally in defensive rushing success rate allowed, according to GameOnPaper.com, while allowing less than 1.0 yard per carry.
They gave up just 40 rushing yards on 25 carries to Clemson, which has several four- and five-star recruits along its offensive line. If LSU can shut down Clemson, it can hold Lacy in check. Lacy rushed for only 61 yards against Louisville two weeks ago."
LSU vs. Ole Miss live markets explained
Kalshi's event contracts can be bought and sold as the LSU vs. Ole Miss game unfolds, meaning traders aren't locked into their pregame positions.
The probabilities will move throughout the game as the score, time remaining, possession, and game state change.
How do LSU vs. Ole Miss prediction markets work?
Kalshi is a federally regulated U.S. exchange where users trade directly on the outcome of real-world future events. Instead of traditional bets, users trade event contracts based on simple Yes/No questions such as "Will LSU beat Ole Miss?"
Contract prices reflect the market's estimated probability of an outcome. A contract trading at 23%, for example, indicates that the market is assigning that outcome roughly a 23% chance of occurring. If the prediction is correct, the contract settles at $1; if it is incorrect, it settles at $0.
How does Kalshi differ from sportsbooks?
At a traditional sportsbook, bettors wager against prices established by the bookmaker. Kalshi instead operates as an exchange, with users trading event contracts against other market participants.
Another major difference is the ability to exit a position before an event is finished. If the probability of your LSU vs. Ole Miss position increases during the game, you can sell the contract rather than waiting for the final result.
