Vanderbilt vs Ole Miss Betting Prediction
Ole Miss comes into this game with an incredible 14-1 record to start the season, but they were blown out by Tennessee last weekend. The Rebels did bounce back with a win against Florida, where they scored 103 points. Vanderbilt has lost six of their last seven games, but they were competitive against LSU and Alabama. Ole Miss is the much better shooting team in this matchup and I think that will be the difference. I think we are going to see a lot of points in this game, but I like Ole Miss to win big at home.
