Alcorn State vs Ole Miss Prediction
In this Alcorn State vs Ole Miss Prediction, Ole Miss is coming as -27.5 home favorites. Ole Miss has been the far better team this season, as they have a better overall record and have been almost perfect at home. On the flip side, Alcorn State has been terrible this season, with just one win in 11 games played and have been winless on the road. On top of that, they will be playing their 11th game on the road this season, so this is a brutal scheduling spot for them. They have been terrible both offensively and defensively, with a -26.9 point differential, so I expect the hosts to win this one comfortably. Take Ole Miss and lay the big number.
