Top Picks for Week 2: Marshall advises that trend analysis favors No. 21 Ole Miss over Kentucky, a rematch fueled by last season’s upset of the Rebels. Marshall believes Ole Miss, driven by vengeance, will cover with a spread of -9.5 in a game expected to conclude under 50.5 points.
“This is a revenge spot for Rebels after being dumped 20-17 by 15-point underdog Kentucky last season,” Marshall shared. Lane Kiffin has a record of 7-4-1 against the spread over his last 12 away games, while Kentucky has faltered recently with a 2-5 spread showing after facing Toledo in their opening game. Mark Stoops has also shown an underwhelming performance with a 9-4 record since last season.
