Alabama at Mississippi

This is the best Ole Miss team in a long time and they deserve their #11 ranking. The Rebels are solid on both sides of the ball, and last year they held the Tide to 25 points on the road - the fewest points Alabama had scored at home since the LSU game in 2011. Ole Miss may be even better on defense this season, and the Alabama offense has yet to test a strong defense with its new cast of skill players. This will be the best shot Ole Miss has had at Alabama in many years, and their chances of winning are realistic in this one. This is a highly-experienced and good team, and they are facing a very good team that is young, and encountering their first true road test against a team that can get in their heads. The Rebels are a great turf team at 16-5-1 ATS in their last 22, while the Tide's name has gotten so big that they are struggling against the number at 1-6-1 ATS. This dog has a chance and the points are looking great here. Play on Ole Miss.
