​The Lane Kiffin Bowl, as I like to call it, highlights Week 3 as the LSU Tigers (2-0) head to Oxford for an SEC opener with the Ole Miss Rebels (2-0). Both teams average over 40 points per game and are coming off 31 and 32-point wins.LSU scored 51 and 45 points in their first two games with Kiffin. LSU only scored more than 35 points once last season and that came against FCS Southeast Louisiana. The Tigers scored 51 on Clemson and 45 on Louisiana Tech. LSU’s offense ranks third nationally with 586.0 yards per game and fourth in passing yards per game at 358.0. Turnovers were an issue in the first half for Sam Leavitt against Louisiana Tech. He tossed three interceptions, including two in the red zone, and one ended up as a 100-yard pick-six for the Bulldogs.Ole Miss will have a battle on its own turf. Of course, nobody outside the program knows this Rebels team better than Lane Kiffin does, so Pete Golding and Trinidad Chambliss will be in for a classic game of chess. The Rebels rolled Charlotte, 41-9 in their previous game behind Chambliss tossing two touchdowns and Kewan Lacy running for another two.Let’s dive into the schools on both sides of the ball, look at a few key players, and see where the numbers take us.Game Details and How to Watch LSU vs Ole MissDate: Saturday, September 19, 2026Time: 7:30PM EasternSite: Vaughnt-Hemingway StadiumCity: Oxford, MSTV/Streaming: ABCGame Odds for LSU vs Ole MissThe latest odds as of Tuesday courtesy of DraftKings:Moneyline: LSU Tigers (-155), Ole Miss Rebels (+130)Spread: LSU -3 (-110)Total: 58.5 pointsBe sure to check out DraftKings for all the latest game odds & player props for every matchup this week on the college football schedule!LSU TigersHead Coach: Lane Kiffin2026 Record: 2-0Offensive Points Per Game: 48.0 (T-18th)Defensive Points Per Game: 12.0 (T-22nd)2026 Strength of Schedule: 75th2026 Remaining Strength of Schedule: 9thThe LSU Tigers Offense:Hands down, LSU’s offense has been one of the best units in the country during the early season.
