Ole Miss vs. Mississippi State Player Props

Kewan Lacy 2+ Touchdowns (+115)

Kewan Lacy has been one of the best running backs in college football this season. He ranks sixth in the nation in rushing yards and leads the nation in with 19 rushing touchdowns. He is coming off his best game of the season against Florida last week, rushing for 224 yards and three touchdowns against the Gators. He has now rushed for three touchdowns in each of his past two games — and has scored at least two touchdowns in 6 of 11 games this season.

Ole Miss is one win away from a College Football Playoff berth, with their in-state rival being the only team still in their path. Mississippi State has struggled defensively all season, especially against the rush. They rank 67th in the nation in defensive EPA/rush and 111th in defensive rushing success rate. This defense gave up a remarkable 300 yards and three touchdowns to Missouri’s Ahmad Hardy last time out. They also allowed over 300 rushing yards against Georgia, 239 rushing yards against Arkansas, and 299 rushing yards against Texas A&M. They rank last in the SEC in rush defense, so Lacy should dominate this game. The sophomore running back has a great chance to make it three straight games with a trio of rushing touchdowns, and he should score two at the very least.
