The current betting odds have Texas listed as a 5.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Texas has looked good in their games this season with their 18-13 record overall and their 9-9 conference record which has them right in the middle of the SEC. They haven't looked great in their neutral site games though with their 2-2 record in those. Meanwhile, Ole Miss has looked terrible in their games this season with their 12-19 record overall and their 4-14 conference record which has them right near the bottom of the SEC. They haven't looked good in their neutral site games either with their 2-3 record in those. Both of these teams have looked terrible lately as both are 1-4 in their last 5 games and both teams have lost 2 games in a row now too. As bad as both have looked lately, Texas has clearly been the much better team this season and they have a lot more talent to ride. They were looking like a tournament team at one point and a terrible end to the season has put them in jeopardy now, but they can still salvage a spot in the NCAA Tournament with a run in this SEC Tournament. They are off a loss to Oklahoma in their last one, but they will be looking to bounce back from that bad loss against their rival. Texas may be 1-4 in their last 5 games, but they do have some respectable losses during that time and they have picked up some really good wins in the SEC this year too. Ole Miss has been getting blown out in a majority of their games this year and Texas already crushed Ole Miss by double digits when they played earlier this year. The best way to place a bet here is on Texas to cover the spread in this game.
