NCAA football gambling oddsmakers are going to have to re-examine the mental condition of the Alabama Crimson Tide after their college football wagering loss last week. NCAA football gambling oddsmakers have had a difficult time gaining a hold on the Rebels who have been a wildly sporadic college football wagering commodity.



The 8th rated Alabama Crimson Tide will host the Rebels Saturday night with a ESPN2 broadcast scheduled to kickoff at 9 PM Eastern Time. The Tide opened at the online sportsbook as 20.5 point favorites.

The Rebels have a record of 3-2 straight up as well as 2-3 with the NCAA football gambling odds. Ole Miss is arriving off a bye week that came after a 42-35 home victory and pay out over Kentucky. The Rebels have a high powered attack that rates 15th in the country for scoring.

Ole Miss is 13th in the country for rushing directed by Brandon Bolden who has 518 yards as well as a 6.8 yards per carry average with 5 tds and qb Jeremiah Masoli, who has 262 yards and a 5.2 yards per carry average and 3 touchdowns. Masoli is averaging 8.8 yards per passing attempt yet has a 6/5 touchdown/interception ratio. Defense is a big difficulty for Ole Miss as they rank 103rd for points allowed.

Masoli transferred to the Ducks from CCSF in 2008. He formerly was a third string qb but when injuries plagued the depth chart, he ended up the starter. In 2008 he scheduled a record for Oregon quarterbacks with 714 rushing yards. He additionally directed the team to a win against Oklahoma State in the 2008 Holiday Bowl. He has had trouble with the law this year as he pled guilty to felony second-degree burglary in March and was suspended for the complete 2010 season by coach Chip Kelly. He then was cited for drug and traffic charges and was booted off the team. A switch to Ole Miss was the only thing that saved his college football career.

The Alabama Crimson Tide has a NCAA football gambling record of 5-1 straight up and 4-2 against the spread. The Tide is arriving off a 35-21 loss at South Carolina in which they were plainly outplayed. The loss at South Carolina combined with their near death escape at Arkansas shows that the defending national champions can be beat.

Alabama rates 25th in the country for offense and 17th for defense. Qb Greg McElroy has a 72% completion rate and is averaging 9.5 yards per pass attempt with a 9/3 TD/INT ratio but hasn’t been amazing and was not able to rise a comeback last week. Trent Richardson and Mark Ingram are both averaging 7 yards per carry.

Alabama is the a lot more strong commodity here however the question will be if they can conquer their poor performance and loss last week. Ole Miss has enough offense to perhaps keep things intriguing if the Tide has one more off night. Ole Miss has gotten the money in 4 from their last 5 college football gambling matchups against Alabama.
