Summary:
Ole Miss defeated Alabama at home two years ago and will be looking to spring the upset once again. They have a star quarterback in Chad Kelly but unfortunately not much around him. Their running game has been lackluster so far and their defense has been shredded by the run so far. To beat Alabama, you absolutely have to stop the run.
Alabama has been rolling so far and their defense looks like the best in the country. Jalen Hurts has given them stability at quarterback which was a major question mark heading into the season. Alabama should be able to run the ball with great success and dominate the time of possession battle. I like Alabama by double digits on the road.
