Betting on the Alabama Crimson Tide
- Season record: 7-2
- Spread: -11.5
- Moneyline from BetMGM: (-450)
- Over/Under: 64.5
After two consecutive seasons reaching the national finals and winning one of them, the team led by Nick Saban will have to triumph this Saturday if they want to be in the playoffs again.
Without the possibility of at least reaching the SEC conference finals, the Crimson Tide can only use winning everything between now and the end of the schedule and hope for combinations that are impossible to explain at this point. To do so, they must rely on their high-powered offense led by QB Bryce Young, who this year has totaled 2,234 yards with 19 touchdowns and is responsible for the team being sixth in the nation in average points per game (41.8).
Alabama has also responded on the defensive end, averaging just 18 points allowed per game, but in its two losses, to Tennessee and LSU, it conceded 84. A very high number for a team that in the last two seasons stood out for its solidity in stopping opponents, and that will have to deal with the good ground attack of Ole Miss.
Betting on the Ole Miss Rebels
- Season record: 8-1
- Spread: +11.5
- Moneyline from BetMGM: (+340)
- Over/Under: 64.5
Like Alabama, the Rebels need a win this Saturday and another combination of results to get past LSU and go against Georgia in the SEC conference final.
Of course, Ole Miss will have a tough time beating Alabama, a team that is coming off back-to-back losses for the first time since 2013 and has won the last seven games between the two.
However, the home side has only lackluster against LSU itself, andnationally, they rank third in average ground yards per game with 267.4.They will have to use this weapon against an Alabama team that, when they allow more than three yards per carry, gets into serious trouble.
The problem for the Rebels is their defense, the same one that allows 21.4 touchdowns per game and does not defend the aerial game very well, precisely Alabama’s most outstanding weapon with the presence of Bryce Young.
JefeBet Prediction
Hope is the last thing to be lost and even though this year Alabama is far from the powerhouse of the previous two seasons, no one can write off a Nick Saban-led team, especially with the offensive quality at his disposal.
Ole Miss has played incredible this season, but Alabama knows how to beat them and a thermometer may be the game against LSU, a team against which the Rebels lost by a whisker and the Crimson Tide fell in overtime.
Prediction: Spread of Ole Miss and Over.
