Texas vs. Ole Miss Picks: Rebels ATS, Team Total Over

Talk to me, Dave. Texas, Ole Miss, three-point number, total climbing 54.5. What do you like in this one? I grabbed Ole Miss three and a half earlier in the week. I grabbed it actually on Monday as soon as it was released. I was actually surprised that it was this high. Just thinking that Ole Miss, who to me has the better team, has been coached better, has the better quarterback, has going in the right direction. Their offense is on a roll. They bounced back from their Florida loss in Gainesville by crushing Vandy and then destroying a Mississippi team that was a top 15 team in the country. On the other side, you've got Texas, who's a mess right now. Yes, they blew two double-digit leads. It's also two double-digit leads that they had because of special teams and punt returns and kick returns, and they're sitting here not scoring on offense. This team cannot score. Arch has struggled to produce against elite opponents time and time again. He's thrown for fewer than 200 yards, Kevin, in four of his six starts against top 10 teams. He's only averaging 215 yards per game this season. last week 173 against a Florida defense that was 129 against the pass there's only 130 teams by the way I like Ole Miss plus the points Ole Miss wins this one outright I am playing Texas team total over I did go for a little more of an expensive option at 27 and a half I don't want to fade Trinidad Chambliss I don't I I respect this Reb team I respect Golding by the way who probably is under discussed when we talk about best coaches in the country at least that's my early read on the situation but last year he was the coach of the team that made the run to the semi-final certainly had an opportunity to play in that national championship game they nearly beat Miami and they're off to a great five and one start here but you know got the win over Lane it's a it's a if you have any belief left in Texas it's a great Texas price Dave doesn't have belief in Texas I understand that I feel like I do but I I just rather play the team total I don't think this team can get there without 28 points I think the story of Texas is the offense and I also think the Simmons injury matters I think he's one of the few defensive players at you know at the major level that if he misses a game you're going to move a number and I think that's the case here with Texas Ole Miss so I am going to play a Texas team total over 27 and a half
