Ole Miss vs Tennessee Betting Prediction
Ole Miss comes into this game with an undefeated record, but they haven’t truly been tested so far this season. This will be the toughest game that Ole Miss has played this year and it will be on the road. The Rebels are shooting over 46% from the field, while Tennessee is only shooting 43.5%. The Volunteers are the slightly better defensive and rebounding team, but this should be a great game to watch. I think we are going to see plenty of points in this matchup and I like the over here.
