Arkansas vs Ole Miss Prediction
Some may be turned off with Ole Miss losing four of its last six games, but a couple of those losses came against title contenders, so it’s not that bad. Ole Miss is still the more talented team with a top-100 scoring offense. Arkansas has had issues stepping up in competition this season and I doubt things improve at the end of a back-to-back. If anything, it feels like we’re getting a soft line with Ole Miss losing games lately. I’ll worry when those losses come against subpar teams. The line isn’t enough to look in Arkansas' direction. Give me Ole Miss.
