Randy’s Pick
The Ole Miss Rebels are obviously head and shoulders the better team here, and we know they'll be looking to take out some frustration after the game against Georgia. Louisiana-Monroe isn't good on either side of the ball, which includes being ranked 124th in scoring offense and 118th in scoring defense. With all that said, we know Monroe will be the more motivated side as a chance to play an SEC team. Also, Ole Miss is probably already looking forward to the Egg Bowl next week. This is also just the seventh time since 2017 where Ole Miss has been favorites of 30 or more points. The Rebels are 2-3-1 ATS in those previous games. Give me the Warhawks and the points.
