Ole Miss is getting 59 percent of bets to win the game and cover the three-touchdown point spread on Saturday.

The other 41 percent of wagers project Oklahoma will either win the game in an upset, or more likely, keep the game under the 21 point line.

When taking the point spread and total into consideration, it’s implied that Ole Miss will defeat Oklahoma by a projected score of 35 to 14

Our early pick: Ole Miss -21 ... Oklahoma has no offense. Its defense, however, is actually quite dominant at times, and could keep it close against the Rebels’ skill threats early, but as has been the case all year, those tacklers will get tired in the absence of any help from the Sooner offense.
