College football odds are putting pressure on No.8 Ole Miss, who many say have the talent to compete with Florida, Alabama and LSU in the SEC. In an opening-week visit to Memphis, the Rebels will be out to make a statement.
Ole Miss vs Memphis Odds - Sunday, September 6, 3:30 PM ET
Ole Miss pivot Jevan Snead is the best quarterback in the SEC not named Tim Tebow, and he's one of six returning offensive starters. Dexter McCluster is a threat to score anywhere he lines up, and the Rebels are very deep at running back. The defense welcomes back eight starters, but the loss of first-round NFL pick Peria Jerry is a blow to the front seven. However, they improved immensely in 2008, and If Ole Miss really is one of the top sports picks in the country, the defense will be the key.
There are only four returning starters for the Tigers on offense, and quarterback Arkelon Hall leads an unpredictable no-huddle offense. However, the Tigers have some things to sort out up front, where there is only one starter back. The defense also has only one player back from 2008 on the line, but the rest of the unit is solid enough to give the Rebels problems. The secondary doesn't get many takeaways, but they're fundamentally sound.
Ole Miss is a 16-point favorite in this contest, but while they've won seven of their last nine against the Tigers, last year's 41-24 win at home was the first time since that the margin of victory was more than 10 points. Memphis isn't that far from Ole Miss, and they always get up for the Rebels, but Ole Miss will want to come out and prove that they're worthy of all the accolades. The Memphis offense will have trouble with the vastly-improve Ole Miss defense, and the Ole Miss offense will have enough in the tank, led by Snead and McCluster, to cover the massive spread in your betting software. Snead didn't play great against Memphis last year, but now that he's the unquestioned leader of the team, he'll have a big game on Sunday.
