|---|---|
| OKLAHOMA SOONERS | -200 |
| OLE MISS REBELS | +170 |
Ole Miss are coming off a hard fought battle against Georgia with a 35-43 loss in Week 8. Their goal is to get back to winning ways, heading over to Norman for another tough test versus the Sooners. They are considered underdogs at +4.5 on the spread, despite having a higher ranking in the nation.
They'll be lead by their QB Trinidad Chambliss, who has 1,549 passing yards, 8 TDs and only 1 INT so far. Their star Running Back, Kewan Lacy (616 Rushing Yards and 10 TDs), will also look to make some damage on the ground. This win will consolidate them as a top tier team this season, so this game is huge.
The Oklahoma Sooners are coming off a respectable win against South Carolina in Week 8. Now, their goal is to defend their home turf against Ole Miss and use this as their statement game. With a win here, they'll grab their first ever win versus Ole Miss, plus give the Rebels their 2nd straight loss.
Their QB John Mateer needs to stay focused this game, as he has thrown 6 INT so far this season. He needs to make sure he uses his top WR, Isaiah Sategna's full speed and power to make sure they get on the board early. On defense, they'll need to rely on DL Mason Thomas and LB Kip Lewis.
This game is destined to be a tight one, with Oklahoma set as favorites with a -4.5 spread. The over/under for the game opened at 50.5 but is now at 54.5, so expect this to a high score. The money line for Oklahoma is -200, for Ole Miss it's +170.
Our pick for this game is all about Ole Miss getting the upset win over Oklahoma on the road. It wasnt an easy decision, nonetheless, Ole Miss is playing amazing and their only loss this season was against the Bulldogs.
