LSU favored over Ole Miss in Week 3 SEC showdown

Analysts Brad Crawford (14-1 straight, 10-4-1 ATS) and Chris Hummer (12-3 straight, 5-9-1 ATS) have released their Week 3 college-football picks, highlighting the SEC clash between seventh-ranked LSU and eighth-ranked Ole Miss. Both analysts favor LSU, with Hummer giving the Rebels a +3.5 spread and Crawford a -3.5 line for the Tigers. > "LSU has an elite pass rusher and a speedy receiver corps that can exploit Ole Miss' defensive weaknesses," Hummer said. > "Ole Miss' offensive line struggled against Louisville, and their secondary gave up big plays," Crawford added. The analysts also offered selections for other top contests, including Miami at Wake Forest, Houston at Texas Tech, Florida at Auburn, and Notre Dame at Michigan State, among others. Their projections rely on recent performance metrics such as rushing yards, defensive pressure rates, and turnover margins.
