Depaul Blue Demons vs Mississippi Rebels Point Spread Picks

The DePaul Blue Demons have opened the 2011-12 campaign with a 4-1 mark through their first five games. This is a roster that returned intact, but let's not forget that these same players finished 1-17 in the Big East a year ago, so I'm certainly not a believer as playing against a solid 5-1 Mississippi team will be a true test. The Rebels have been winning despite not shooting the ball well yet, and are certainly more capable than what we have seen so far. It speaks volumes in the upside, as the defense has been good enough to carry the offense that is shooting below expectations to this point. Ole Miss has a great track record under Coach Andy Kennedy vs. out of conference opponents where his Rebels team has gone 70-16. The Rebels have Murphy Holloway who is averaging a double-double on the inside, and he should be the difference here as Ole Miss is also 17-8 ATS vs. a team with a winning home record in their last 25. Play on Ole Miss.
