\"The<\/a>
The Ole Miss Rebels are 5-0-1 ATS through six games this season<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Tennessee snapped a three-game losing streak in picking up a 45-10 victory over Chattanooga as 25-point home favorites last week, while winning the statistical battle by 139 yards.\u00a0 The Volunteers have won 12 of their last 13 trips to Oxford, which can\u2019t be ignored when making your Week 8 college football predictions, but they suffered a 42-17 setback in their last such contest in 2009.\u00a0 It\u2019s important to point out that the program owns a 44-19-1 all-time advantage in this Southeastern Conference rivalry.\u00a0 Tennessee is 0-8 SU and 5-3 ATS as underdogs of 10.5 to 21 points the last two-plus seasons, with the OVER going 5-2-1 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Volunteers have forced multiple turnovers in four consecutive games, which can\u2019t be ignored when looking over the college football betting lines, as they\u2019ve averaged 6.33 poitns per game off turnovers under Butch Jones since the start of last season.\u00a0 Tennessee has dropped its last six games versus SEC West opponents, while it seeks its first win over a top-three team since 2004.<\/p>\n

Ole Miss is 6-0 SU and 5-0-1 ATS through six games this year, as it returns home after picking up a 35-20 victory over the Texas A&M Aggies as 2.5-point underdogs last Saturday, while going UNDER the betting total five times in that span.\u00a0 The Rebels are allowing 11.8 points per game, which happens to lead all SEC teams in that all-important statistical category.\u00a0 The program is 69-15-2 SU all-time in Homecoming games, with wins in 15 of its last 17 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Rebels have been very pleased with the play of quarterback Bo Wallace, as he sits second in the SEC and 11th nationally in completing 68.5 percent of his passes.\u00a0 The senior has accounted for 74 passing plays of 10 or more yards, while he\u2019s thrown for 15 touchdowns and six interceptions.\u00a0 It\u2019s important to point out that the team hasn\u2019t turned the ball over during conference play.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Volunteers due to their 4-1 ATS mark as road underdogs of 14.5 to 17 points in their last five opportunities.<\/p>\n
