Ole Miss at Alabama picks and predictions
Prediction
Alabama 83, Ole Miss 78
Moneyline
PASS.
There’s no reason to consider the moneyline here. Alabama has been rolling and should win at home, but it is far too much of a favorite to consider. Avoid a moneyline play.
Against the spread
BET OLE MISS +11.5 (-110).
The Rebels have been terrific this season as an underdog. They are 3-1 ATS in that situation with all 4 games either being on the road or a neutral court. Ole Miss has covered in 3 straight games and in 7 of its last 10 outings as well.
Alabama has covered frequently, and it has been a huge favorite in those games. The Crimson Tide have been one of the most aggressive offenses but have also allowed 79 or more points in 3 of their last 4.
Play OLE MISS +11.5 (-110).
Over/Under
BET UNDER 164.5 (-115).
The Rebels have a strong defense, allowing 66 or fewer points in 3 straight games. They have given up 80 points to the Purdue Boilermakers, 63 to the Louisville Cardinals, and 66 to the Arkansas Razorbacks this season. Ole Miss has gone Under in 7 of its last 8.
The Crimson Tide are 4-5 O/U in their last 9 games as well and just 7-8-1 O/U on the season, partially due to the ultra-high totals they are given. Considering those trends, play UNDER 164.5 (-115).
