LSU vs. Mississippi State picks, predictions
- Mississippi State to win or lose by 17 points or fewer ($0.50 per share)
- More than 55.5 points scored ($0.51 per share)
Mississippi State to winâor lose by 17 points or fewer ($0.50 per share)
Mississippi State has enough recent evidence to make a close game believable. Before the Alabama loss, the Bulldogs beat Missouri 31-24 and won 41-34 at South Carolina. Taylor threw for 360 yards with three touchdowns against Missouri, while Evans has become the passing game's steady target at 114.8 receiving yards per game. The Bulldogs have scored at least 31 points in four of five games.
LSU's been far tougher at home, but SportsLine's own forecast lands right near this figure. Its 38-25 score gives the Tigers a 13-point win, so LSU wouldn't clear Polymarket's 13.5-point question. The Tigers also enter off an overtime loss at Kentucky, their second defeat in three SEC games. Polymarket prices LSU to win by more than 17.5 points at $0.51 per share, while the opposite outcome checks in at $0.50. That makes Mississippi State to win or lose by 17 points or fewer the featured prediction.

More than 55.5 points scored ($0.51 per share)
There hasn't been much mystery about the scoring profile for either team. Mississippi State opened with 62 points against ULM, then scored 38 at Minnesota and 41 at South Carolina. The Bulldogs followed with 31 against Missouri before Alabama held them to 23. LSU's reached at least 34 points in five of six games, with the lone exception coming in a 32-24 loss at Ole Miss.
The Tigers also just played a 35-34 overtime game at Kentucky. Mississippi State has allowed at least 24 points in each of its last three games, including 56 against Alabama. SportsLine's 38-25 forecast adds up to 63 points, 4.5 above the Polymarket figure. Polymarket prices more than 55.5 points at $0.51 per share, compared with $0.50 for fewer than 55.5. The recent scoring from both offenses gives the higher total the better case here. Sign up now to make college football trades and get $25 as a sign-up bonus with the Polymarket promo code CBSSPORTS:
