LSU-Mississippi State Prediction
This is a battle between the two traditional powers in the SEC West. State looks a little stronger than the Tigers this season. They’ve played a tougher SEC schedule so far and are still in the thick of the West title hunt. Couple that with LSU’s inability to win road games (1 win in 6 tries) and you have to pick the Bulldogs to win this series but LSU will likely steal one. Mississippi State 2 wins, LSU 1 win.
