Ole Miss vs Texas Prediction

In this Ole Miss vs Texas prediction, Texas is coming as -3.5 home favorites. Texas is being favorited because its playing at home where is 3-1 this season, but it has back-to-back losses and has failed to cover the spread in each of its last five games. They will be playing an Ole Miss team that is 5-1 in its last 6 games and 3-1 ATS, while having the 20^th-best offense in the entire country, so I like them as road dogs in this spot. Take Ole Miss and grab those +3.5 points in this one.
