Alabama at Ole Miss picks and predictions
Prediction
Alabama 93, Ole Miss 82
Moneyline
Alabama (-255) will cost you more than 2 1/2 times your potential return, and that's way too much risk for not enough reward, especially for a team on the road.
Ole Miss (+205) isn't a very good team, as it has dropped 5 of the past 6 games. And the Rebels have struggled in this series, too, falling in 6 in a row, and 8 of the past 9 against the Tide.
PASS.
Against the spread
ALABAMA -6.5 (-105) is a strong play on the road, as the Tide have owned Ole Miss +6.5 (-115) over the past few years.

For Ole Miss, the Over has hit in 2 of the past 3 outings, allowing 75 or more points in 3 of the past 4 contests. It wouldn't be surprising to see the Tide hit triple digits against the skidding Rebels.
