Best Bets for Miami vs Ole Miss Odds on Jan. 8
Best Bets for Miami Hurricanes
The Miami Hurricanes have silenced the critics all season. Starting with a season-opening victory over Notre Dame, all the way to their stunning upset win over the Buckeyes at the Cotton Bowl, the Canes have ended any further discussion of whether they belong in this season's College Football Playoff. And Carson Beck has played an enormous role in this team's success.
The fifth-year pivot has saved some of his best performances for top-ranked opponents, including a four-TD outing versus No. 18 Florida State back in October and an efficient, if not flashy performance while leading the squad to a 10-3 win over Texas A&M that earned them a CFP berth. Beck made just 26 pass attempts and tossed for 138 yards and one score against OSU but should be able to open things up against the Rebels, who have regularly engaged in high-scoring affairs this season.
Accordingly, the senior should be backed on the college football odds as a -135 bet to toss for OVER 1.5 touchdowns on Thursday night.
Best Bets for Ole Miss Rebels
Trinidad Chambliss has regularly put his ability to scramble on display this season, racking up 520 rushing yards and rushing for eight touchdowns. Now faced with a Miami pass defense that has limited opposing pivots to just 201.1 passing yards per game while compiling a nation-leading 46 sacks, Chambliss can expect to endure plenty of pressure on Thursday night.
That presents a golden opportunity for Ole Miss betting fans, who should take Chambliss as both a -120 bet to rush for OVER 23.5 yards, and as a +210 value wager on the Anytime TD scorer odds.
Miami vs Ole Miss Picks
- Carson Beck: OVER 1.5 touchdown passes | -135
- Trinidad Chambliss: OVER 23.5 rushing yards | -120
- Trinidad Chambliss: Anytime TD scorer | +210
Best Events to Use the BetMGM Bonus Code For January 8
- NHL: Artemi Panarin, OVER 1.5 points | +160. The New York Rangers still have a mountain to climb in their bid to return to playoff contention in the Eastern Conference, and things get no easier in Thursday's date with the surging Sabres. However, the recent play of Artemi Panarin has provided Blueshirt Nation with hope. The "Breadman" has potted two goals and added three assists in the past two games and turned in multi-point performances in three straight outings. With the Sabres surrendering big shot totals in their past three outings, Panarin should not be overlooked on the NHL odds as a lucrative +160 bet to once again record OVER 1.5 points.
- NBA: Norman Powell, OVER 25.5 points + assists | -105. The Miami Heat enter the new year still in the playoff hunt in the NBA Eastern Conference, and Norman Powell deserves plenty of credit. The veteran guard is on pace to set a personal best with 24.3 points per game so far this season, and has also flashed steady playmaking ability while tallying at least four assists in four of his past eight outings. The Heat have struggled at times on the road but not quite as much as the Bulls have while losing five of eight. So look for Powell to once again take a leadership role on Thursday and pay out as a -105 wager on the NBA player props to record OVER 25.5 points + assists.
