Ole Miss at Kentucky: Odds, betting lines and picks
Prediction
Kentucky 33, Ole Miss 24
Money line (ML)
KENTUCKY (-250) is a moneyline favorite over Ole Miss Saturday afternoon in this SEC matchup. The Wildcats have won four of their last five games after a 29-13 loss to Auburn last week.
Meanwhile, Ole Miss has lost six straight games on the road and has lost each of its last six games against SEC opponents. Expect this to be a close game throughout, but for Kentucky to ultimately come out ahead.
Against the spread (ATS)
KENTUCKY -7 (-110) opens this game as a touchdown favorite over Ole Miss. The Wildcats have covered in seven straight games at Kroger Field.
With this spread being for a one-score game, it’s hard to envision Kentucky not winning and covering the spread. Ole Miss has struggled against the spread of late, failing to cover in six of its last seven games. In fact, the Rebels have been awful as an underdog, covering in only three of their previous 13 games.
Take Kentucky to win this game by two or more scores.
Over/Under (O/U)
The total for this SEC matchup is set at 62.5 points, which seems a bit high for these two teams. Kentucky was able to score only 13 points in its first game of the season as it averaged just 4.92 yards per play.
The total has gone Under in seven of the Wildcats’ last eight games against SEC opponents. Look for the UNDER 62.5 (-110) to hit in Lexington.
