Mississippi State and Ole Miss: Ole Miss Cover -1
Mississippi State and Ole Miss are set for a showdown in Oxford, MS. The Bulldogs snagged a gritty 64-58 victory over No. 8 Auburn, with freshman Josh Hubbard stepping up with 17 points.
Meanwhile, the Rebels are riding a 12-0 home record, fresh from a hard-fought 71-68 win at Texas A&M. Ole Miss showcased their defensive prowess in a 77-51 victory over Arkansas, holding them to 33.3% shooting.
Mississippi State’s defense is no joke, allowing opponents only 66.0 points per game this year. Still, the Rebel’s defense is no slouch either, averaging under the league average in FG%, 3PT%, and points against. I am very interested in the Under (150.5) in what looks like a defensive battle, but you must acknowledge the clear offensive advantage of Ole Miss, especially behind the arc (38.2%). This leads me to the Rebels keeping the home unbeaten streak alive and snatching the victory.
