To begin with Ole Miss was a pleasant surprise on the college football board despite their NCAA probation. However, the Rebels are now in betting on college football free fall. An already thin defense has been rendered helpless and has laid waste to a prolific Mississippi offense. Contrarily Mississippi State has recovered nicely from a midseason slump. Owing to a rock-ribbed defense have the Bulldogs attained success. Despite their recent profits this season still rates as a letdown for MSU. First year head coach Joe Moorhead has gotten his “Welcome to the SEC” hazing for 2018.

Mississippi State vs. Ole Miss TV Coverage: ESPN
Mississippi State Bulldogs

It was the third cover in four games for Hail State. Overall MSU ranks second nationally for points allowed but 69th for scoring offense.

Ole Miss Rebels
Ole Miss is 5-6 straight up, 3-8 vs. the board, and 6-5 over the total. Extending their misery vs. the line is five consecutive failures to pay out. Last Saturday was the Rebels worst loss yet. Indeed, Vanderbilt scored a 36-29 home payout in overtime. Ole Miss outgained Vandy 578-387 but Jordan Ta’amu threw two critical interceptions. Additionally, the Rebels 123rd in the country ranked defense failed when it mattered most.
Stats to Consider
