    Week 7 is here, and the country eagerly awaits any potential upsets in college football following a weekend filled with them.

    This week's lineup includes several top-25 matchups, such as the Texas Longhorns vs. Oklahoma Sooners, Ohio State Buckeyes vs. Oregon Ducks and Ole Miss Rebels vs. LSU Tigers.

    On the "Paul Finebaum Show," the SEC Network analyst made a prediction for one of those games. Finebaum is picking LSU to upset the Rebels.

    "I slightly lean towards LSU," Finebaum said. "There's not really a fundamental reason. Part of it is I just think Ole Miss has been woefully inconsistent. Not that LSU hasn't. But I'm really glad to see this game at night. I think that gives LSU the home-field advantage it has not always had."

    According to FanDuel Sportsbook, the Rebels are a 3.5-point favorite with odds of -162. However, Finebaum thinks LSU has the edge for being a night home game.

    Finebaum also isn't sold on Ole Miss' "inconsistent" play. The Rebels started the year 4-0 in dominating fashion. Their closest game was a 34-point beat down against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons. However, they struggled in Week 5 and lost to the Kentucky Wildcats 20-17 at home.

    The Rebels bounced back again in dominating fashion against the South Carolina Gamecocks, winning 27-3. Now Ole Miss faces arguably its biggest challenge of the season.

    Ole Miss will face LSU on ABC on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET.

    One bad game out of 5 isn’t inconsistent. Just say you hope LSU wins because you hate Lane
