Southern at Ole Miss picks and predictions
Prediction
Ole Miss 87, Southern 58
Moneyline
PASS.
Ole Miss is such a heavy favorite in this matchup that the moneyline is OTB at BetMGM Sportsbook.
Against the spread
BET OLE MISS -24.5 (-110).
Ole Miss has covered the spread in 8 of its last 10 games. It has covered 7 consecutive games overall and 4 straight as a favorite. Ole Miss has covered 4 of its last 5 games as a favorite of 21.5 or more points, including 2 straight. The Rebels have been exceeding expectations against weaker competition and will continue that trend Tuesday.
Over/Under
LEAN OVER 144.5 (-110).
The Rebels have scored 84 or more points in 5 of their last 7 games and also allowed 63 or more in 5 of the 7. Expect the Ole Miss offense to add enough toward the total to hit the Over.
The biggest question lingering for the confidence of this wager is if Southern will be able to contribute enough offensively.
