Ole Miss Rebels vs. Alabama Crimson Tide Prediction

I’m on Ole Miss here. I think Alabama wins but with the run that Ole Miss is on to try to keep their season alive, they can make things somewhat interesting here. There could be a little bit of rust on Alabama’s side after the long layoff, and I think Ole Miss can keep it close here. Give me the Rebels and the points.
