Vanderbilt vs Ole Miss Prediction

Ole Miss is coming off a shocking road win over Auburn, which could be a turning point for this group. Still, we’re not going to act like Ole Miss didn’t lose 10 straight games before that. Ole Miss is also 9-19 ATS on the season. This isn’t a team you should back with confidence. Vanderbilt has fallen off over the last month, but it remains one of the best teams in the SEC and if it’s going to right the ship before the SEC Tournament, this would be it. Ole Miss has zero betting value. Give me Vandy in a dominant road win.
