PICK: I’m going to stick with Ole Miss. The Rebels put together a pretty good effort versus a solid Alabama team in their last outing. Ole Miss posted 403 total yards (191 rushing) with 22 first downs and 8-of-16 on third-down tries. It easily could have been a Rebels win.
As for Arkansas, they had a pretty solid game against a great LSU team in their last outing. Arkansas held the Tigers to just 86 passing yards and 15 first downs. It’s going to be tough for Ole Miss to find much traction here, but I think they’ll eventually cover.
