Biggest bets to avoid

1. Moneyline

Here’s the deal. This game could go either way. Tennessee football, on paper, has a lot of advantages over Ole Miss, including playing at home. On the other hand, the Vols’ best offensive weapon, Tiyon Evans, is banged up, and Ole Miss is the one ranked in the top 25.

Then you have the payout. If you go with the Vols as the underdog, you’re only looking at +125. That’s not a lot of money to bet big on an upset, and again, this is such a toss-up that you’re really just flipping a coin to see who wins. As a result, avoid it for the game.

2. First half spread

If the spread were by quarters, you’d have a better chance of winning. However, Tennessee football is going to dominate the first quarter, and Ole Miss is going to dominate the second quarter. That’s why either team could be leading at halftime.

Right now, the Vols are 1.5-point underdogs for the first half. You’ve got a better chance, based on your confidence, on getting the 3-point spread for the game right, and taking the Vols +3 is probably the best bet there, even if I’m betting Ole Miss to cover. Given the disparity of the two quarters, though, avoid the first half.

3. First half moneyline

Obviously, with such a close spread in the first half, if you should stay away from that, you should stay away from the moneyline. Tennessee football is at +110, and Ole Miss is at -130. There’s no telling what the score will look like at halftime. The third quarter will decide the outcome, so stay away from this one.
