Ole Miss vs Alabama 2010 College Football Picks: On Saturday, the Alabama Crimson Tide football team will take to the field for the first time in 2010 not ranked No. 1 following their road loss at South Carolina in Week-6 of the season (Oct 9). The Tide, who are 5-1 overall on the season and 2-1 in SEC play, will host Ole Miss (3-2, 1-1) in a game between SEC West schools at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa in an ESPN2 televised game (8 PM ET).
Alabama is listed as a 21-chalk favorite on the SBGglobal.com college football big board versus Mississippi with a 55 total. Greg McElroy's streak of 19 consecutive wins to open a career at Alabama and 35 straight wins as a starting quarterback came to an end with the Tide's loss at South Carolina. He has completed 72.3 percent of his passes for 1,298 yards, nine touchdowns and three interceptions while ranking eighth nationally in passing efficiency at 169.15. Mark Ingram rushed for 41 yards on 11 carries at South Carolina, moving him up the Alabama career rushing yards chart into fourth place with 2,782 yards in his career. He has only lost one fumble in 470 career rushing attempts. Julio Jones caught a season-best eight passes for 118 yards at No. 19 South Carolina.
The Rebel defense ranks sixth in the SEC in sacks (13). Jonathan Cornell leads Ole Miss and ranks eighth in the SEC in tackles (8.0 pg). He also ranks fourth in the league in TFLs (1.60 pg) and is tied for eighth for sacks (0.60 pg). Preseason All-SEC defensive end Kentrell Lockett will miss the remainder of the 2010 season with a left ACL injury. Ole Miss forced three turnovers versus Kentucky and scored touchdowns after all three turnovers.
Reno Gold's Pick: I like Ole Miss getting +21 in this game. The Rebels will scorte some points with Jeremy Masoli running an improving ground game. My play is Ole Miss +21.
