LSU-Mississippi State Series Prediction

This is a battle of two teams that have both experienced greatness, but neither is doing well this season. The Tigers and Bulldogs each have a pair of series losses in three weekends of conference play. At least both have avoided being swept.

LSU 2 wins, Mississippi State 1 win
