Alabama vs. Ole Miss: Odds, betting lines and picks
Prediction
Alabama 49, Ole Miss 21
Money line (ML)
Alabama (-1429) opens this contest as a monster road favorite over Ole Miss and it’s not hard to understand why. Alabama has defeated Ole Mis in 14 of their last 16 meetings and they look to have another potential championship roster. While the occasional upset does happen between these two teams, the talent and coaching differential is massive. Expect Alabama to win, but PASS on this moneyline as their just not enough value here on the Crimson Tide to wager on them.
Against the spread (ATS)
ALABAMA (-23.5) opens this game as 23.5-point favorites over Ole Miss on Saturday evening. The Crimson Tide have one of the best offenses in college football and their two receivers in Devonta Smith and Jaylen Waddle are two of the most explosive receivers in the country. It wouldn’t be a surprise if both players made a few long receptions in this game to help Alabama score close to 50 points. It’s worth noting that Alabama has now covered the spread in four of their last six games. Take Alabama -23.5 (-110) to cover the spread in Mississippi.
Over/Under (O/U)
The total for this SEC matchup is set at 70.5 points, which somehow feels low considering the explosiveness of this Alabama offense. They will need Ole Miss to help keep up some in order for the OVER 70.5 (-110) to hit, but Alabama should have no problem scoring close to 50 points in this contest. It’s worth noting that the total has now gone Over in four of their last five games for Alabama against an SEC opponent. Expect that to be the case once again as this total should finish in the mid-70s.
