Charlotte vs Ole Miss Prediction
Charlotte going to three overtimes against The Citadel isn’t encouraging heading into this spot. Ole Miss is capable of laying the wood here. However, this is a sandwich spot for Ole Miss after a game against Louisville and with LSU on deck. It will be interesting to see if Ole Miss can refocus after a last-second win. Lacy is also banged up for Ole Miss. A lot of points here. I’ll take a shot with Charlotte and the endless free touchdowns.
Randy Chambers's Pick: Charlotte +45.5
