BYU Cougars vs Ole Miss Rebels Point Spread Picks

The BYU Cougars can probably thank the way they played at Gonzaga late in the season as that win was surely instrumental in them playing in this game. At 20-12 Ole Miss is here because of wins over Arkansas, Cincinnati, and Oregon, and they played Kentucky as well as anyone, losing by three in overtime. The BYU Cougars have injury concerns too, as third-leading scorer Anson Winder (13.1) missed the last two games with a knee injury while guard Skyler Halford suffered a lower leg injury in the last game and their status is uncertain. BYU is 17-36 ATS at neutral-site games and 4-10 ATS in NCAA Tournament games. They are favored over an Ole Miss team that is 9-4-1 ATS following a spread loss and 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 neutral-site games. Play the points on Ole Miss. Also take the UNDER. The Cougars love to get out and run, and have scored 70+ points in 16 straight games, but the oddsmakers have really pumped the total here. As a four point favorite and a total of 158 as of this writing, says the Cougars get to 81 here. Ole Miss may have something to say about that as they have allowed just two teams all season to reach 81, and one of those was an overtime game. The Rebels have been even stingier vs. the better teams, and are 4-1 to the UNDER in their last five vs. a team over .600. Take Ole Miss, and this one doesn't get there, so also play on the UNDER.
