Betting on the Ole Miss Rebels
- Season record: 7-1.
- Spread: -2.5 .
- Moneyline from BetMGM: (-140).
- Over/Under: 54.5
The Rebels have far outperformed expectations this season, but LSU knocked them off their high with a 25-point loss last week.
However, if they want to try to return to the nation’s Top 10 they must quickly turn the page and appeal to its powerful rushing offense, which ranks third in the circuit with an average of 252.1 yards per game. This is the same offense that struggled for the first time this year when it was shut out in the second half against LSU despite scoring 20 points in the first half of the game.
The Rebels’ problems come from the defensive side of the ball. They started the season allowing 13 points in the first three weeks, but now opponents have scored at least 27 goals against them in three of their last four games. Their defense, completely weak against rushing offense, is currently ranking 88th in the circuit with an average of 160.5, and it bears a big part of the blame.
Betting on the Texas A&M Aggies
- Season record: 3-4.
- Spread: +2.5 .
- Moneyline from BetMGM: +115
- Over/Under: 54.5
After four weeks on the road, the Aggies return home hoping to turn their season around, and what better way to do it than against a banged up Rebels.
Texas A&M’s main problem this year has been that its offense hasn’t been able to get on track as expected. However, they have a great opportunity to improve in this area against an Ole Miss team that has struggled of late against the opposition’s attacks.
Defensively, the Aggies rank in the nation’s top 25 in fewest points allowed per game and average yards per pass; however, they aren’t as good at stopping the rushing attack, the main strength of their opponents on the road.
JefeBet Prediction
The Aggies have an opportunity to get a second wind this season, and playing at home in front of over 100,000 fans against a struggling team appears to be the ideal setting.
The offense hasn’t been at its best, but Ole Miss has struggled defensively of late and if they can’t get their ground attack going they will have a lot of trouble in Texas.
Prediction: Texas A&M to win.
