Ole Miss vs Charlotte Prediction
Ole Miss comes into this matchup as a huge favorite to get the win after barely surviving against Louisville last week. The Rebels should win this game very easily, but they do have LSU on deck. Charlotte lost to The Citadel in week one, which was one of the worst losses of the week. The 49ers moved the ball well, but their defense was way too soft. I would be shocked if this game is remotely close, but I will take the points with Charlotte, as Ole Miss is probably focused on LSU.
