Mississippi State vs. Ole Miss Prediction:
I like Ole Miss to cover the 4.5 point spread at home on Saturday. Both teams have struggled ATS in their last few games, but I’ll take the Rebels who have won 4 of their last 5 games and are playing on their home floor. Mississippi State on the other hand has lost 3 of their last 4 games, and have allowed 75+ points in each of the last 4 games. Ole Miss ranks 68th in opponent points per game while Mississippi State ranks 159th. My favorite trend for this game is that the Rebels are 4-3 ATS against ranked opponents. The Bulldogs? They are just 1-7 ATS against ranked opponents.
Mississippi State vs. Ole Miss Prediction: Ole Miss -4.5
