Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles at Louisiana State Tigers Overview<br />
</h2>
<p>
The Golden Eagles come in off a 55-32 defeat at Texas-San Antonio last week. Overall, the Golden Eagles are 4-2 on the season and feature wins against UTEP, Rice and Savannah State. LSU (3-2) enters off a bye but they have certainly not appeared to be a team that some analysts called a favorite for the College Football Playoff, thus far. The program is in disarray due to injuries and administrative matters at the top and thus the 3-2 record does not reveal the current state of LSU.

Southern Miss at LSU Prediction
Immediately most will cite Southern Miss’ loss to UTSA last week as rationale to stay clear of the Golden Eagles. However, it may have been highly likely that Southern Miss treated UTSA as a bye and simply focused their attention on this game, thus rendering themselves vulnerable for the upset. LSU enters this contest off a bye and the status of running back Leonard Fournette remains uncertain. LSU’s offense is simply not good enough to be giving away this many points especially when Southern Miss is known for a well calibrated attack anchored by quarterback Nick Mullens. Sure, LSU has a great defense but it is safe to assume Southern Miss will win find paydirt. Once again we are approaching this one from a reactionary perspective. Southern Miss was the victim of a let-down defeat and their stock has plummeted as a result. LSU may have suffered a similar ailment had their run in with Florida not been postponed due to Hurricane Matthew. LSU is not a good enough football team overall to be spotting this amount of points to a football team that should certainly be rated by the least in Southern Miss. While a shootout may be on the horizon, this game will likely have an element of defense be that LSU’s unit is still readily capable of curtailing the Golden Eagles.
Free Pick:
Take Southern Miss +25.5 and Under 57
