Memphis vs Ole Miss Prediction
I’m on Ole Miss here. The home team has won the last 5 meetings between these two teams, but the Tigers have had issues against the SEC so far this season as the SEC has been the most dominant conference as a whole this season. Ole Miss is a solid team that’s starting to round into form and I think they get it done here. Give me Ole Miss.
