winning points - big upset
***BEST BET
Mississippi* over Tennessee by 3
You've got two coaches who know each other
very well, and each is coming off a big win. David
Cutcliffe of Ole Miss and Phil Fulmer of Tennessee
were on the same staff as assistants at Tennesee,
and Fulmer retained Cutcliffe as his offensive
coordinator when he became the head coach.
Each has quarterbacks who are under-performing.
Each has big linemen and decent defenses.
So, it is a big-hitting, avoid mistakes, field-position,
gut-wrenching game that goes to the home dog. Late start
time also favors the defenses because offensive timing
will be off as they have to sit around all day, wait for the sun
to set, then wait some more, then kick it off.
MISSISSIPPI, 19-16.
