Ole Miss vs. South Carolina Betting Prediction

Despite their recent woes, Ole Miss still has the advantage in this matchup. They've been the better team on both ends of the floor all season and are long overdue for a road win. South Carolina is far too inconsistent and has so many blowout losses already this season. Ole Miss will bounce back in a big way tonight.
