The under is 5-2 in Rebels last 7 overall. The over is 7-3 in Crimson Tide last 10 overall. The favorite is 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings.
The Ole Miss Rebels have to prove themselves in a spot like this before I can trust them, and I’m afraid they don’t have enough offensive depth to compete. The Alabama Crimson Tide are the more talented side, and they win at home by an average of 22.5 points while allowing 36 percent shooting from the field. Big number for a conference clash, but give me the Tide anyway.
