Ole Miss Rebels vs. Mississippi State: Final odds and predictions
Ole Miss will celebrate its seniors later today. The final home game will be played in front of the fans at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. The crowd will be among the loudest of the season, as Mississippi State is in town for the 121st edition of the Egg Bowl.
The Rebels and Bulldogs need a win for more than just bragging rights and to keep hold of the Golden Egg. Ole Miss has a slim chance of making the playoffs with a win and other results helping them, so an impressive win is a must. Mississippi State is without a conference win this season, so what better way to record its first over its rivals?
The odds suggest this is a cakewalk for Lane Kiffin's team, but they have already blown games where they were double-digit favorites. We also know that the previous form can go out the window during rivalry week, so the Rebels must play well.
The critical battle in this game is how well Ole Miss can run the ball. It's been a problem during SEC play, with Kiffin reaching for return specialist Micah Davis to play in the backfield against Florida. The Bulldogs are giving up 223.3 rushing yards per game, ranked No. 127 in the nation. Whichever team can play better in those areas could determine who wins the game.
Lane Kiffin has only lost one Egg Bowl in four, back in 2022, under similar circumstances to this season. Ole Miss has several players on the roster from that season, including Jaxson Dart, so they will be aware of what can happen if they are still thinking about what happened the previous weeks.
Prediction: Ole Miss 38, Mississippi State 10
