Oklahoma vs Ole Miss Prediction: ‘Under 52.5’
The Oklahoma Sooners and Ole Miss Rebels are set for a competitive showdown, with both teams boasting strong defenses. Oklahoma’s defense has allowed only 66 points this season, ranking 26th overall, while Ole Miss has given up 158 points, placing them 82nd. Both teams have demonstrated a preference for controlling the game through defense, which could result in a lower-scoring affair.
Oklahoma’s recent games have tended to go under when the total is set at 50 or higher, as they are 13-15-1 in such situations at home over the last few years. Ole Miss, with their 14th ranked offense, will face a tough challenge against Oklahoma’s top-ranked sack defense. This clash of strengths suggests a potential for a lower combined score.
Last year’s matchup between these two saw a total of just 40 points scored, and given the current defensive statistics, a repeat of a similarly low-scoring game is plausible. The Rebels’ strong passing game will be tested by the Sooners’ defensive ability to disrupt the quarterback, possibly limiting scoring opportunities.
Considering the defensive capabilities and past trends, the projected final score suggests a total under the current line of 52.5. Expect a tightly contested game, with each team likely to rely on their defensive units to keep the scoring in check.
- Oklahoma vs Ole Miss Prediction: Under 52.5
