Vanderbilt +17 2.2% play

Both of these teams are run first teams and this should keep the clock ticking making this a very challenging spread for Ole Miss to cover.  Ole Miss does like to play fast, but Vanderbilt counters that by being the 111^th paced team in the country.  Vanderbilt actually is the best running team that Ole mIss has faced and ran for over 200 yards a season ago.  I think the bye week helps them here even more as they try to pull the upset over a top 10 team while Ole Miss was extremely fortunate to beat Kentucky at home as a 7 point favorite.

On paper Ole Miss run defense has been dominant ranking 26^th, but a closer look and they have faced an average rushing ypc of 111^th.  Vanderbilt comes in here ranking 55^th, and as I mentioned should have some success running the ball.  Ole Miss last year really struggled running the ball on the road -2ypc, and that is the strength of the Vanderbilt defense.  I think we see a close game, and Ole Miss has shown they are willing to take the foot off the break late in games.
