Ole Miss Rebels vs. St. John’s Red Storm Prediction

I’m on St. John’s here. I just don’t trust Ole Miss offensively to keep themselves in this game and to match pace with St. John’s here. The Red Storm are one of those teams that just beat you up inside so much and all of a sudden you blink and they’re up by double-digits. I just think that Ole Miss is overmatched in this game, so give me St. John’s in this one.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: St. John's -12.5
