Best Bet of the Day
CFB: Kentucky Wildcats +7 over Ole Miss Rebels
12:00 pm ET, ESPN
Kentucky travels to Oxford to face Ole Miss in an SEC cross-divisional matchup. Kentucky quarterback Will Levis is averaging close to 300 passing yards per game and showing NFL promise. The Wildcats offense will get a boost with running back Chris Rodriguez making his season debut after being suspended for the first 4 games. Ole Miss was shut out in the second half last week at home against Tulsa. That’s a bad omen given they will face a much tougher defense in Kentucky. The Wildcats have already won a tough road game this year, beating Florida in Gainesville two weeks ago, and they are 8-1-1 ATS in their last 10 games against teams with a winning record. Read our full Kentucky vs Ole Miss predictions.
