Jacob Hester, Co-Host, Off the Bench: I think LSU pulls away late, but honestly, I don’t care if they win by one point. Win the next two weeks and get to the bye week, LSU, 31-14.
Matt Flynn, Co-Host, Off the Bench: LSU, 37-13.
Charles Hanagriff, Co-Host, Live at Lunch: LSU wins, 38-27, if Taylor plays, 41-17, if he doesn’t.
Hunt Palmer. Host, Hunt Palmer Show: I’ve seen LSU’s defense against poor quarterback play. I’ll see it again Saturday. Stop turning the ball over offensively. LSU, 33-7.
Matt Moscona. Host, After Further Review: I don’t think Kamario Taylor or Fluff Bothwell plays. If they did, my score would be very different. A walk-on making his first start in Tiger Stadium is not a recipe for success. LSU, 41-17 (and the 17 is out of great respect for Jeff Lebby).
Paul O’Neill, Video Producer, Off the Bench: All eyes are on the status of Kamario Taylor, but we also can’t downplay the impact of RB Fluff Bothwell. If Mississippi State is missing both of them, LSU should cruise to a victory. The Tigers just need to avoid the mental mistakes and turnovers. LSU, 31-17
Matthew Musso, Audio Producer, After Further Review: Lane Kiffin has not lost back-to-back games as a head coach since 2022. He’s already 1-0 in that situation this season. Kamario Taylor doesn’t play and walk on Billy Pucket has a long day against Blake Baker’s defense, LSU 34, Mississippi State 10.
Taylor Sharp, Video Producer, Off the Bench: I’ll take LSU,34-24, if Kamario Taylor plays… If he doesn’t, 34-13. LSU needs a win after a disappointing loss on the road, and the Tigers have been really good at home. Despite the 11am time slot, I think the home crowd will be too much for the Bulldogs.
Jordan Kitchens, Audio Producer, Hunt Palmer Show: I like the Tigers in the bounce-back spot, LSU 35, STATE 21.
