Ole Miss WR A.J. Brown signs contract with San Diego Padres

It looks like one Ole Miss football player will have the chance to go pro in two different sports.

Ole Miss freshman A.J. Brown tweeted that he has signed a deal with the San Diego Padres. Brown was a 19th round draft pick in last month’s MLB Draft.

Brown, from Starkville, Mississippi, was the No. 5 wide receiver recruit for the class of 2016. He ultimately spurned his hometown Mississippi State Bulldogs to play for the in-state rival Ole Miss Rebels.

According to Daniel Paulling of the Clarion-Ledger, Brown will play for both the Padres and the Rebels. Per NCAA rules, Brown will only forfeit his eligibility for the sport he signed the professional contract.

Ole Miss football had 3 players go in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft, but can they replace these stars with the incoming talent? The over/under has been set at 9.5 which would lead you to believe sportsbooks are high on the Rebels. A closer look at the odds will tell a different story. The under is paying -245, while the over is paying +175, and yes, the 9.5 does include postseason play and championship games. In layman’s terms, sportsbooks believe Ole Miss will fail to reach double digit wins in 2016, bowl victory or not.
Let’s briefly break down each game of the season for the Rebels and see if there is money to be made on the +175, or if the under is a sure thing and it is worth taking the hit at -245.
