Saturday's online betting odds in the SEC will feature the No.3 Crimson Tide, who are looking like the best team in the country right now, taking on a Rebels team that had high expectations, but are behind the eight-ball due to an earlier loss to South Carolina. Who will win this SEC West clash?
Alabama vs Ole Miss Odds - Saturday, October 10, 3:30 PM ET
The Crimson Tide rolled to a 38-20 win at Kentucky last week, as the vicious Alabama defense forced four turnovers. Greg McElroy had to only manage the game, and he did well by going 15-of-26 for 148 yards and two scores. He had a great ground game backing him up as Mark Ingram ran for 140 yards and a pair of scores for the Crimson Tide, who are climbing the sportsbook ladder in terms of odds for winning the BCS championship.
The No.20 Rebels rebounded from their loss against South Carolina with a 23-7 victory at Vanderbilt, but it was far from convincing. Jevan Snead, who was a darkhorse Heisman candidate, was 19-of-34 for 237 yards and three touchdowns, but he was also picked off three times. It was the defense that had to lead the way, holding Vanderbilt to 240 yards, including a paltry 69 through the air.
The Crimson Tide are a 6-point favorite in your handicapping software, and they've won eight of their last 10 against the Rebels, including a 24-20 victory last year at home to make it five in a row. This game will be fought between the Alabama defense and the Ole Miss offense, which hasn't lived up to the hype at all. Coach Nick Saban has done a great of putting McElroy, who is starting for the first time in his career, in a position to avoid mistakes, and a strong ground game doesn't hurt. The Ole Miss defense has been playing very well, but they struggle against the run, and this plays right into Alabama's hands. Go with the Alabama Crimson Tide in your Saturday sports picks.
