I am taking the Braves for the win today. I have the Braves starter Tim Hudson as 6-0 SU when he starts on Sundays. I also have the Reds Starter Johnny Cueto as 1-10 SU when he starts away and the line in less than -120 and their previous starter allowed less than 4 runs. I also have the Reds as 4-18 since 2005 as a 140+ dog after a win in which they allowed 6 or fewer hits and it is nor the first game of a series. Finally, I have the Braves as 17-6 SU since April 2009 vs a team that has won at least their last two games. Take the Braves for the win.
These two schools are only 85 miles apart, so this isn't really a road game for Ole Miss. There will be plenty of Mississippi fans in Memphis. Mississippi is returning 16 starters from last years team and many have them predicted to go undefeated this year. Last years dominant Memphis squad had 23 seniors and actually return only 12 starters this year. The spread in this game opened at 17. The spread over the last four years combined was only 12 and never went higher than 4. Why is it so high this year? Because Ole Miss is that good, and they can't wait to show you! Ole Miss is 6-1 (+8.6ppg) since October 2007 versus the league. They are also 5-0 (+21.1ppg) since November 2008. Ole Miss is 12-1 in season openers with the last 5 being against Memphis. Look for this trend to go to 6-0 against Memphis on Sunday.
