Mississippi State vs LSU Predict ion & Pick
Wins have been tough for Mississippi State to come by when LSU is involved. The Bulldogs have lost 31 of their last 37 games against the Tigers, including their last meeting in 2021 by a final score of 28-25. Furthermore, the Bulldogs are only 2-11 straight up in their last 13 trips to Tiger Stadium.
Having said that, I predict that Mississippi State will get the win here. A big part of LSU's offense is its run game, which could be in trouble against a Bulldogs defense giving up just 84.5 rushing yards per game in 2022. I expect that Mississippi State's D will come to play, ending with a close-fought victory in the road team's favor.
Final Score Prediction:'Mississippi State: 28 | LSU: 24

As shown in the above trends, Mississippi State and LSU have often combined for the under in recent meetings. That's something that I predict will happen again considering that the average total of their last seven games has been 47 points.
With both schools' defenses playing well in the first two weeks, expect another low-scoring game here.
