3-star (636) MISSISSIPPI ST -7.5 over Ole Miss. 8:30pm ET. Ole Miss is 0-6 SU/ATS in their last 6 games and are playing with a lame duck coach in Andy Kennedy who resigned earlier this week. I thought his resignation would ignite the team but the Rebels instead lost by doubles at home to Arkansas on Tuesday. Here's a comment from Andy Kennedy this week; 'Man, this is as bad as I've seen it in my 400 games.' Until tonight. I apologize. I certainly did not want to go out like this. But as I said yesterday, my words are ringing hollow. I can't get 'em, I can't reach 'em." (credit to David Malinsky of Point Blank for finding the quote).
Meanwhile, Mississippi St is on the bubble, needs a win and is playing with revenge from a 64-58 (+2.5) loss at Ole Miss back on January 6th. That final was misleading as Mississippi St actually led 51-42 with 8 minutes left but went cold down the stretch. Mississippi St is much better at home with a 16-1 SU record and the Bulldogs have covered 6 straight games overall. However, MSU is not being overpriced because they are off back-to-back straight up losses on the road. Finally, the Bulldogs also have the significant defensive edge (No. 31 vs No. 180).
