The Ole Miss defense has really propelled the team through its first two games. The unit limited Vanderbilt to just three points a week ago, keeping the Commodores under 100 yards of total offense into the fourth quarter en route to a 41-3 victory.

Ole Miss was close with Boise State in their opener before pulling away in the fourth quarter, but they had built up a 20-0 halftime lead in their victory over Vanderbilt. They’ll like to carry over some of that dominance into their home opener in this one.
The Rebels have steadily been climbing the national rankings as they look to live up to the hype and make some noise this season. They’ll face somewhat of a stiff test in this one in a Louisiana-Lafayette program that was tabbed as the preseason favorite to win the Sun Belt conference.

It’s been a disappointing start for the Ragin’ Cajuns, though. The team beat up on FCS team Southern University in their opener, claiming a 45-6 decision, but things didn’t go as well last weekend, when they fell to Lousiana Tech 48-20.
That game marked just the third loss of head coach Mark Hudspeth’s tenure with the Ragin’ Cajuns.
The team relies heavily on an offense that ranks fourth in the Sun Belts in both rushing offense and total offense.

Ole Miss can put up its fair share of points as well. The Rebels rank third in the SEC and seventh in the nation with 377 passing yards per game. Quarterback Bo Wallance ranks 10th in the nation in total offense, accounting for 360.5 yards per game.
Free Ole Miss vs. Louisiana-Lafayette Pick:
Both teams should be able to put up some points in this one, even if the Ragin’ Cajuns have to work a little harder to get theirs. The team was certainly guilty of looking ahead a week ago, and now it’s time for them to make good on that. They have a lot more to offer than what they showed last week.
The Ragin’ Cajuns are 12-3 ATS in their last 15 games versus an opponent with a winning record, and they are 5-0 ATS in their last five games following a double-digit home loss.
The over is 6-0 in the Ragin’ Cajuns’ last six games in the month of September, and it is 15-6 in their last 21 non-conference games.
