#7 LSU vs. #8 Ole Miss TD Scorer Picks, Spread, Over/Under – Saturday, September 19
While it’s unfair to expect the Tigers to put up 51 or even 45 points like they did in their first two games or the Rebels to roll to another 41-point performance, there’s lots of upside in this one. That applies to the team and player levels, especially when considering touchdown scorer picks on PrizePicks.
Anytime TDs on PrizePicks include rushing, receiving, recoveries, and returns. PrizePicks often list Anytime TDs as Demons and Goblins, meaning users can only select "More." For standard projections, users can select “More” or “Less.”
Demons are tougher to win but are the only way to get higher payouts. Meanwhile, Goblins are lower than a standard projection, but they are easier to win, so there’s a lower payout.

- After racking up 5 rushing TDs in each of his two seasons at Arizona State, QB Sam Leavitt has already matched that total through two games with LSU.
