Louisiana-Monroe vs Mississippi Prediction

The current betting odds have Ole Miss listed as a 37 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Ole Miss has looked good this season with their 8-2 record overall and their 5-2 conference record. Their only 2 losses this season have come against Georgia and Alabama who are both ranked inside the top 25. Ole Miss is also 6-0 in their home games this year and they have a really good offense that will be looking to bounce back after scoring just 17 points in their loss to Georgia last week. UL Monroe has looked terrible in their games this season with their 2-8 record overall and their 1-7 conference record. They are also 0-4 in their road games this year and have already been struggling against Sun Belt teams, now they have to face a team from a much tougher conference and one that is ranked too. Ole Miss will be using this game as a get right game after their loss to Georgia and Louisiana-Monroe doesn't have the talent to put up much of a fight here either. The best way to place a bet here is on Ole Miss to cover the spread in this game. 

Louisiana-Monroe Mississippi Prediction:  Our NCAAF Pick for Saturday, November 18, 2023 (12:00 pm ET start time) is Ole Miss 63 ULM 7.
