Oklahoma vs Ole Miss Prediction

I’m not excited to lay this sort of number with Ole Miss given the struggles against Kentucky and LSU, but the offensive production is there and that puts Oklahoma in a tough spot. The Sooners have scored a combined 12 points in their last two games. Ole Miss is second in total offense and eighth in scoring offense. Ole Miss has also had extra time to prepare. Think what you want about Ole Miss and the recent hiccups, I’ve seen nothing from Oklahoma that suggests it can string together offense. Give me Ole Miss in a home beatdown.
