What have the Tigers proven?

The Tigers are the 13th-ranked team in the country, but they lost to the best team they played, and they only won by three in their second-toughest matchup of the year.

The offense has put up a lot of points, but is it really all that impressive to score 42 against the Nicholls Colonels? Plus, the defense has been problematic, even against bad offenses.

They’re allowing just 21.6 points per game, but they’ve allowed 21 points to Nicholls, 33 to South Carolina, and 17 to UCLA. Each of those teams went over their season average by at least a field goal.

Rebels have all the advantages

Offensively, the Rebels are averaging 37.6 points per game. That’s 18th in the nation. They’ve scored at least 27 points in four of their five games.

While their loss to Kentucky was concerning, they rebounded nicely by dominating South Carolina.

Defensively, they’ve allowed more than 10 points just twice this season, and no team has scored more than 20 against them. The Tigers may become the first to do so, but it will only be because they’re trying to catch the Rebels.

Jaxson Dart Over 284.5 passing yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Tigers are allowing 258.8 passing yards per game. That ranks 100th in the country. Jaxson Dart has already thrown for 2,100 yards, an average of 350 yards per game. Against the SEC competition, he has yet to throw for 300 yards, but he has still hit at least 261 in each of those games.

With all of that said, this total makes no sense. The total is up to 291.5 at bet365 and Caesars.

If they were offering better prices, I’d be more than happy to take that Over. However, they’re offering the same price as FanDuel for over 284.5. Therefore, it’s obvious where to play. Get in as soon as possible. This is going to get close to 300 before kickoff.

My Ole Miss vs. LSU player prop bets double down on Dart while offering complementary prop picks.

Best odds: -114 via FanDuel | Implied probability: 53.27%

He is always looking for value, especially on lines that just seem too good to be true. His belief is that if a line doesn't make sense just assume oddsmakers know something you don't. He also loves in-season futures. There is so much value to be had as the public overreacts weekly. Bettors tend to forget just how long NFL and college football seasons are. After all, the Green Bay Packers were 2-5 in 2023 and they made it to the Divisional Round. When deciding where to bet, it comes down to value over everything. +100 is always better than -110. An alumnus of The U, Phil always holds out hope that the next head coach will be the one who turns the football program around. He is also a diehard Detroit Lions fan and is willing to forgive Dan Campbell for forgetting that a kicker can be useful.
