Oklahoma vs Ole Miss Prediction
Oklahoma is going to get the benefit of the doubt with that elite defense and being at home. However, Mateer hasn’t been the same quarterback in his first two games back from hand surgery. Ole Miss is also an elite level offense that will test this Sooners defense. Ole Miss made Georgia look silly last week and probably should’ve won that game outright if we’re being honest.
Ole Miss has covered 6 of its last 9 games as an underdog, and 5 of those covers were outright victories. Oklahoma has also had issues running the ball, which would play into the strength of this Rebels defense if forced to pass. Give me the points in what should be a fun SEC back and forth.
