Ole Miss vs. Tennessee Prediction and Pick
At over a field goal, I like Tennessee, a team that is desperate for a big win in front of the Rocky Top faithful and there’s no better time than against the co-Heisman favorite and the No. 13 Rebels under the lights.
Tennessee has played super fast under first year head coach Josh Heupel and is going to welcome Lane Kiffin’s Rebels offense frenetic pace. The Vols are the fastest team in the country in terms of plays per minute while the Rebels are third.
The home side is likely going to get back several key contributors such as running back Jabari Small, offensive lineman Cooper Mays and nickelback Theo Jackson.
The team has also found their answer at quarterback in Virginia Tech transfer Hendon Hooker. He has completed nearly 70% of his passes and has 13 touchdowns to a single interception.
I’ll happily take the hook in a game that is likely going to come down to the final possession, but this is an undisciplined Ole Miss team, ranking in the bottom 10 in penalties committed, and outside the top 100 in tackling. These are some of the small difference that can sink a team on the road.
Despite playing at the same tempo, Ole Miss’ defense ranks 67th in S&P+ defensive rating while Tennessee is 23rd.
I’ll side with the home team, but keep an eye on live betting this game with such a high total. If either team falls behind I may live bet the trailing side.
Pick: Tennessee +3.5, play to +3
