Ole Miss at Georgia Tech odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Ole Miss at Georgia Tech odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Ole Miss Rebels (2-0) visit Bobby Dodd Stadium to take on the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (1-1). Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. ET Saturday. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Ole Miss at Georgia Tech odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Ole Miss no longer has QB Matt Corral, but it has continued a similar type of success as it had with him at the helm. Ole Miss Beat Troy 28-10 and then took down Central Arkansas 59-3.

The Rebels are led by QB Jaxson Dart, who had 154 passing yards, a touchdown and an interception against Troy. Ole Miss’ strength is on the ground as it had over 250 rushing yards on Troy.

As for Georgia Tech, it is 1-1 with a 41-10 loss to Clemson to open the season. The Yellow Jackets did not cover as 24.5-point underdogs either. They beat WCU 35-17 in Week 2.

RB Dontae Smith, who ran for 3 touchdowns, was the star of the show against WCU. Ole Miss is No. 17 in the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Ole Miss at Georgia Tech picks and predictions

Prediction

Ole Miss 38, Georgia Tech 24

Money line

PASS.

Georgia Tech has one of the worst defenses in the ACC, and I’d not back them to win here. Similarly, Ole Miss should dominate, but at this price, it’s not worth a wager.

Against the spread

LEAN GEORGIA TECH +16.5 (-110).

I don’t have a full-unit bet in this game, but I do like Georgia Tech here.

The bigger point here is Ole Miss’ inability to put away Troy mixed with Georgia Tech being a bit higher level opponent than the Rebels have faced. Mix that with being on the road, and I wouldn’t back Ole Miss here.

The 19-year-old sophomore QB for Ole Miss has just 336 yards through 2 games and just 3 touchdowns. The Yellow Jackets should be wise to have the personnel force Dart to beat them, which he hasn’t proven he can do.

Georgia Tech was down just 14-3 against Clemson at the half and 24-10 entering the third. It hung in there and showed some resilience, which should be useful for this battle against an SEC opponent.

Georgia Tech is similar in style and will try to run early and often, totaling over 200 yards in its 17-point win over WCU. Ole Miss allowed 126 yards to an inferior Central Arkansas.

I expect the Yellow Jackets to, at the very least, squeak in here with a backdoor cover or to keep this game competitive at home.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 63.5 (-112).

The logic here is simple — both teams really only move the ball by running it.

They both have unproven passers leading the way, and that should help the clock continue to tick down. Along with that, coordinators should look to limit the rush, which could also shorten possessions.

GA Tech is 0-2 O/U while Ole Miss is 1-1 O/U this season.

Troy at Ole Miss odds, picks, and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Troy at Ole Miss odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Troy Trojans and Ole Miss Rebels open their 2022 seasons Saturday in Oxford at 4 p.m. ET (SEC Network). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Troy vs. Ole Miss odds, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

Ole Miss, which is No. 24 in the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports, comes into this game with a new starter at QB and a largely new roster with self-proclaimed “Portal King” Lane Kiffin at coach. With QB Matt Corral off to the NFL, incoming QB Jaxson Dart will look to get the Rebels off to a quick start, something Ole Miss must accomplish in the SEC West Division with most of its most challenging games coming later in the season.

While Ole Miss looks to return to a big bowl game – it lost to Baylor in the Jan. 1 Sugar Bowl – Troy looks to get back above .500 after a 5-7 season in which coach Chip Lindsey was fired with 1 game left. New coach Jon Sumrall will look to rejuvenate a team which has a proud tradition in the Sun Belt Conference and hopes to compete for the league title this season.

Troy at Ole Miss picks and predictions

Prediction

Ole Miss 45 Troy 21

Money line

PASS.

Like with all huge lines like this, the juice is not worth the squeeze in taking the money line on these games. Not only would it be bad to wager $1,800 to win $100, but in a case line Bowling Green vs. Minnesota last season, it would feel even worse to pick a guaranteed winner at -15000 and end up losing – Bowling Green (+2500) upset Minnesota (-15000) last season 14-10 as a 31-point underdog.

It’s a no-win situation. So do not do it.

Against the spread

TAKE OLE MISS -20.5 (-117).

Kiffin has never met a team he didn’t want to run the score up against. The same will be said for this game against an overwhelmed Trojans team, which comes into this game hoping to be able to score, collect its money and avoid injury.

If this number were to cross over the 21-point threshold, I might be a little hesitant, but I would still play it.

Over/Under

OVER 56.5 (-112) is my FAVORITE BET here.

Even without Corral at QB, Kiffin and the Ole Miss coaching staff will continue to use the air raid offense. The defense in Troy is average at best and even with a new starting QB in Dart, the Rebels are talented enough to move up and down the field.

It could get ugly early leading to a lot of backups playing late in the game. With the deficiencies Ole Miss has on defense, this could be the time Troy gets its points to put the game OVER the 56.5 number.

Sugar Bowl: Baylor vs. Ole Miss odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Baylor Bears vs. Ole Miss Rebels Sugar Bowl odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 6 Baylor Bears (11-2) battle the No. 8 Ole Miss Rebels (10-2) Saturday in the Allstate Sugar Bowl at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. The kickoff is scheduled for 8:45 p.m. ET and the game airs on ESPN. Below, we look at the Baylor vs. Ole Miss odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

Rankings courtesy of the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Baylor enters on a four-game winning streak (3-1 ATS), which includes a 21-16 thrilling victory over the No. 9 Oklahoma State Cowboys in the Big XII title game Dec. 4.

The Bears are led by LB Jalen Pitre, who won 2021 Big XII Defensive Player of the Year, and the conference’s second-leading rusher in RB Abram Smith. Baylor is 9-4 ATS and 6-7 O/U with the 28th-toughest schedule, according to USA TODAY’s Jeff Sagarin.

Ole Miss has won seven of the past eight (6-2 ATS) – including four straight – with the latest being a 31-21 victory over the Mississippi State Bulldogs Nov. 25, in the Egg Bowl.

Rebels junior QB Matt Corral surprised Ole Miss fans by opting into the Sugar Bowl despite announcing he’s entering the NFL Draft after the Egg Bowl. Many NFL draft experts expect Corral to be drafted in the first round.

Corral scored 31 TDs (20 passing, 11 rushing) and had the fifth-highest passer efficiency rating in the SEC (157.7). Ole Miss is 7-4-1 ATS and 3-9 O/U with the 29th-toughest schedule (Sagarin).

Prediction

Ole Miss 27, Baylor 24

Money line

“LEAN” to OLE MISS (-120) because the tippy-top of the SEC is playing on another level right now. Look what happened in the College Football Playoff semifinals New Year’s Eve with Alabama hammering Cincinnati and Georgia rolling Michigan.

Also, I don’t think Ole Miss and head coach Lane Kiffin will spoil the rare bowl game opt-in from Corral, who’s predicted to be a first-round selection in the upcoming NFL draft. Furthermore, Ole Miss has higher predicted points added and yards per play differentials.

My hesitation with Ole Miss is Baylor has a strength-on-weakness edge in its favor. Baylor is 17th in rushing yards per game, and Ole Miss’s defense ranks 102nd in rushing yards allowed per game.

Against the spread

PASS because I only “lean” to Ole Miss on the money line and am not confident enough in the Rebels to lay the points. More importantly, Ole Miss’ money line is only 12 cents on the dollar more expensive than the spread so it wouldn’t make much sense to lay the points anyhow.

Over/Under

BET the UNDER 57.5 (-105) for 1 unit because there has been too much line movement from the opening total (50.5), and the market has misread Rebels totals all year long hence Ole Miss’s 3-9 O/U record.

According to Pregame.com, nearly 90% of the cash wagered is on the Over, which has steamed the total up a touchdown. The bottom line is I don’t believe the oddsmakers were 7 points off with the original number.

On top of that, the Under has cashed in Baylor’s past five games vs. teams with a winning record and Ole Miss is 0-7 O/U in its last seven games.

For what it’s worth, the UNDER 57.5 (-105) is my favorite wager in the Baylor-Ole Miss game.

Ole Miss at Mississippi State odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Thursday’s Ole Miss Rebels at Mississippi State Bulldogs odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 8 Ole Miss Rebels (9-2, 5-2 SEC) visit the Mississippi State Bulldogs (7-4, 4-3) for the 116th Egg Bowl Thursday at 7:30 p.m. ET at Davis Wade Stadium in Starkville, Mississippi. Below, we look at the Ole Miss vs. Mississippi State odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

Ole Miss clocked a 31-17 victory over Vanderbilt Saturday and has won three consecutive games. QB Matt Corral logged his fourth 300-yard passing game of the season in a contest that saw the Rebels open a 24-6 lead by the late minutes of the first half. Corral leads an Ole Miss offense which ranks 20th nationally in passing and eighth in rushing.

The Bulldogs have won two straight and four of their last five. On Saturday, Mississippi State dispatched Tennessee State 55-10 in a non-conference affair in Starkville.

QB Will Rogers threw for 391 yards and five touchdowns. Rogers has piled up 11 TD passes over the last two weeks and 34 for the season. MSU’s pass offense (390.2 yards per game) ranks third in FBS.

Ole Miss at Mississippi State odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Mississippi State 28, Ole Miss 24

Money line

The Rebels won last year’s meeting 31-24, and they lead the all-time rivalry series 63-46-6.

MSU went just 3-of-13 on third downs in the 2020 meeting. This year’s squad excels in staying on schedule, and the Bulldogs have a legitimate shot to win on home turf.

But PASS on the money line and look to leverage the drained juice against the number.

Against the spread

The Bulldogs come into this game having covered five in a row, and they are 4-1 ATS over the last five Egg Bowls.

Over the last three seasons, Ole Miss is just 2-6 ATS after winning back-to-back games straight up.

MSU has already logged impressive home wins over NC State and Kentucky. With the Bulldogs allowing just 3.3 yards per carry, their run defense can put them over the top in what figures to be a close battle Thanksgiving night.

TAKE MISSISSIPPI STATE -1.5 (-110).

Over/Under

Both sides trend more toward the Under in SEC play. The Under has hit in four straight Egg Bowl battles and in five in a row in Starkville.

Expect a lot of throwing but most of it in the pass-as-a-run vein. TAKE THE UNDER 64.5 (-115).

Vanderbilt at Ole Miss odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Vanderbilt Commodores at Ole Miss Rebels odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Vanderbilt Commodores (2-8, 0-6 SEC) visit the No. 10 Ole Miss Rebels (8-2, 4-2) Saturday at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Vanderbilt vs. Ole Miss odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

The Commodores have dropped five in a row, and bowl eligibility waved good-bye long ago. But Vandy isn’t quitting, and it has covered three of the past four outings while the Under has hit in three of the previous four.

The Rebels topped Texas A&M last weekend, 29-19, and it has now won five of the past six while going 4-1 ATS in the previous five contests. The Under is a perfect 5-for-5 dating back to its last Over result Oct. 9.

Vanderbilt at Ole Miss odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Ole Miss 51, Vanderbilt 12

Money line

Ole Miss (-10000) will cost you $100 for every $1 won. That’s ridiculous.

AVOID, and look to the line.

Against the spread

OLE MISS -35.5 (-108) should be able to roll up huge totals against Vandy +35.5 (-112) in this lopsided matchup. The Rebels have covered four of the previous five games overall.

While the Commodores have played hard in recent weeks, they’re going to struggle containing the high-octane offense of the Rebels.

Over/Under

The UNDER 65.5 (-110) is the play here. This isn’t going to be a defensive slog, but it isn’t going Over, either. Vandy has a terrible offense, and it’s not going to be able to muster much against Ole Miss in a difficult place to play.

The Rebels have actually stepped up the defense lately, allowing a respectable 20.3 points per game across the past four. The Under is 5-0 in the previous five for Ole Miss, and 4-1 in the past five for Vandy. Look for more of the same.

Texas A&M at Ole Miss odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Texas A&M at Ole Miss odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 11 Texas A&M Aggies (7-2, 4-2 SEC) and No. 12 Ole Miss Rebels (7-2, 3-2) are lined up for a Saturday battle between two seven-win SEC West teams. The contest at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford, Miss., is slated for a 7 p.m. ET start time. Below, we look at the Texas A&M vs. Ole Miss odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

Texas A&M trounced Auburn Saturday, outscoring the Tigers 20-3 while outgaining them, 409 yards to 226. The win marked the fourth in a row for A&M, which has now outgained foes by 150 yards or more in four games this season. With RB Isaiah Spiller leading the way, the Aggies’ ground game has cranked out 191.7 yards per game, which ranks fifth in the SEC.

The Rebels defeated Liberty, 27-14, in a Saturday non-conference affair in Oxford last week. They racked up 324 passing yards in running their home record to 5-0. Since last season, Ole Miss has won seven straight at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. At 524.1 yards per game, the Rebels offense ranks fourth in the nation.

Texas A&M at Ole Miss odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Texas A&M 31, Ole Miss 30

Money line

Ole Miss is a slight lean. PASS on the money line and take advantage of the points in what figures as a pick ’em-type close game.

Against the spread

The Aggies have endured some injuries in the defensive backfield in the last month or so. It hasn’t really hurt them against the slate they’ve played. But the best passing team they faced in that stretch – Missouri – was a tougher game than what’s indicated on a schedule/results view. A&M benefited from 13 Mizzou penalties and a garbage-time touchdown.

Replace the Tigers with the high-octane, pace-race Rebels, and the Aggies injuries are more glaring. TAKE OLE MISS +2.5 (-110).

Over/Under

Under trends abound on both sides and in the series. Even high-scoring, fast-paced Ole Miss has hit the Under in four straight games. But look for a swing back the other way in this one.

The Rebels have, for injury and matchup reasons, slowed things down over recent weeks. But Mississippi will likely look to rev the engines back up in this spot. The Rebels will want to keep a deep A&M defense from leveraging its passing-down and running-down specialists.

When the Aggies have the ball, they should be able to get their playmakers in space to develop some explosive plays against a bottom-30 Ole Miss defense. Its a defense that ranks bottom-15 in stopping big plays.

TAKE THE OVER 58.5 (-108).

Liberty at Ole Miss odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Liberty Flames at Ole Miss Rebels odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

With a Saturday noon ET kickoff, the Liberty Flames (7-2) head south to take on the Ole Miss Rebels (6-2) at Vaught–Hemingway Stadium. Below, we look at the Liberty at Ole Miss odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

While keeping things on the down low may be Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin’s style, he let it slip that the Rebels practiced without 9 of their original 11 offensive starters earlier this week, 247Sports reported.

In this Heisman Trophy candidate faceoff, Ole Miss QB Matt Corral will be down at least his top weapon and potentially his top-three receivers. The injuries to Ole Miss have made this spread under double figures when it may have opened over two touchdowns in the preseason.

Liberty is led by star QB Malik Willis. Expected to be a first-round pick, he’ll have to be that superstar for Liberty to stand a chance against an SEC powerhouse.

Liberty at Ole Miss odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Ole Miss 34, Liberty 31

Money line

PASS with a slight “lean” to Liberty. The Flames (+265) will be taking on a heavily-injured Rebels side.

While I’d love to tell you to bet on the Flames, they just haven’t shown much in big-time games, losing to Syracuse and Louisiana-Monroe, their two toughest opponents this season.

Against the spread

“LEAN” to LIBERTY +9.5 (-107) as the better side of the spread. The Flames are 6-3 against the spread this season and have a player that can keep this game close.

Willis is a legitimate superstar. The 6-foot-1 dual-threat quarterback has run for 684 yards with 9 touchdowns and thrown for 1,986 with 21 TDs. The concern is that, despite being nearly flawless against Syracuse, the Flames still came up short.

Ole Miss will be their toughest test of the season. Considering what we’ve seen from Ole Miss and the talent it should have even while missing some starters, I’d still not bet on its money line in this instance.

The injuries matter enough to look toward the spread, which Liberty has consistently rewarded backers in so far this season.

Over/Under

BET on the UNDER 66.5 (-108) as the best bet in this game.

I know what you’re thinking – how are you betting against two potential Heisman candidates? Well, quite frankly, Liberty may keep games close, but it hasn’t scored against competent defenses like it has against no-name competition.

Sure, it put 62 on UMass, but it hung just 21 on Syracuse despite Willis having three touchdowns and no interceptions. On the other side of the ball, Corral may not have his top three weapons and is nursing an injury of his own.

Both teams have been dubbed as having high-profile attacks which is why the pregame totals for both have been high this season. Ole Miss is 3-5 on the O/U, while Liberty is 3-5-1.

Considering the injuries and Liberty’s big-game limited scoring, the Under is the better play.

Ole Miss at Auburn odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Ole Miss Rebels at Auburn Tigers odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 9 Ole Miss Rebels (6-1, 3-1 SEC) meet the No. 21 Auburn Tigers (5-2, 2-1) Saturday at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Alabama. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Ole Miss vs. Auburn odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

Rankings courtesy of the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

The Rebels defeated LSU, 31-17, Saturday and have won three games in a row. Ole Miss leads the SEC in total offense (541.1 yards per game), and the Rebels have been diverse in how they distribute the ball around their roster and how they mix in the run and the pass. Dual-threat QB Matt Corral has produced 15 touchdowns with his right arm and 9 with his legs.

The Tigers are coming off a bye week. They topped Arkansas, 38-23, as four-point underdogs Oct. 16. Auburn ranks 23rd in the nation with 35.4 points per game (PPG) on offense while ranking 29th with 19.7 PPG allowed on defense. Against Ole Miss, Auburn has won five in a row and 34-of-44 all-time meetings.

Ole Miss at Auburn odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Auburn 35, Ole Miss 27

Money line

Ole Miss has piled up big rushing totals of late. In their last three games, the Rebels ran for 324 yards against Arkansas, 279 yards against Tennessee, and 265 yards against LSU.

But, Auburn presents a much tougher defense against the ground game than those three foes. The Tigers rank 34th in the nation, yielding just 126.1 yards per contest.

The Rebels are rounding out a multi-week grind portion of their schedule, while Auburn gets this one at home off a bye.

BACK AUBURN (-150).

Against the spread

Against the spread, Auburn is 12-5 over its last 17 games at home (11-2 as a favorite). In this series, the Tigers are 6-1-1 over the last eight meetings.

Ole Miss squeaked by with a cover at Tennessee two games back, but over the last three seasons, the Rebels are just 5-9 ATS away from Oxford.

TAKE AUBURN -2.5 (-122).

Over/Under

This one has slight indicators pegging an Under call. But the margin is paper-thin. PASS.

Ole Miss at Tennessee odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Ole Miss Rebels at Tennessee Volunteers odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 14 Ole Miss Rebels (4-1, 1-1 SEC) travel to meet the Tennessee Volunteers (4-2, 2-1) Saturday at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tenn. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Ole Miss vs. Tennessee odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

The Rebels rebounded from their loss at Alabama Oct. 2 by squeaking by Arkansas 52-51 Oct. 9. It was the fourth time in five outings that Ole Miss registered 43 or more points. The Rebels rank No. 2 in the country with 561.6 total yards per game.

The Volunteers have flexed some offensive muscle over the past two games, averaging 53.5 points per game (PPG) in wins and covers against Mizzou and South Carolina. Tennessee has registered 34 or more points in five of six outings, hitting the Over ins four of the past five.

Ole Miss at Tennessee odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Ole Miss 43, Tennessee 37

Money line

OLE MISS (-145) is worth a look straight up as playing the Rebels isn’t out of line at this price. The Rebels offense will be tested by a decent Volunteers defense, but Ole Miss should be able to get it done on the road in head coach Lane Kiffin’s old stomping grounds.

Against the spread

OLE MISS -2.5 (-117) is worth a look laying the two and a hook. I just like QB Matt Corral and the Rebels offense more than the Vols offense.

Tennessee QB Hendon Hooker has been solid since transferring from Virginia Tech, and RB Tiyon Evans is the home run hitter the Vols have been lacking for years in the backfield.

But Mississippi is a much deeper team, and it will show in the second half.

Over/Under

UNDER 82.5 (-112) is worth a small-unit play. Yes, Ole Miss and Arkansas combined for a ridiculous 103 total points last week, but in its showdown with Alabama, the O/U line was 80 and the points ended up going well Under with the Tide winning 42-21.

The Under is 19-7 in the past 26 for Ole Miss as a road favorite, while Tennessee has hit the Under in nine of the past 12 at home, while going 7-3 in the past 10 SEC contests.

This won’t be confused for a defensive battle, but it won’t go Over, either.

Arkansas at Ole Miss odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Arkansas at Ole Miss odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 16 Arkansas Razorbacks (4-1, 1-1 SEC) travel to meet the No. 17 Ole Miss Rebels (3-1, 0-1) Saturday at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford, Miss. Kickoff is scheduled for noon ET. Below, we look at the Arkansas vs. Ole Miss odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

The Razorbacks were humming along with four straight victories heading into a showdown at the Georgia Bulldogs last week. Arkansas proved to not quite be ready for prime time as it was dusted 37-0. It was also the first ATS loss for the Hogs on the season.

The Rebels also suffered their first loss of the season last week in a 42-21 defeat Saturday at the Alabama Crimson Tide. Despite the season-low in points, Ole Miss is still fifth in the nation with 44.8 PPG. The Rebels are also third in total yards per game through five weeks with 549.3.

Arkansas at Ole Miss odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Ole Miss 41, Arkansas 31

Money line

Ole Miss (-220) will cost you more than two times your potential return, and that’s just a little too expensive for my liking.

AVOID, and look to the spread instead.

Against the spread

OLE MISS -5.5 (-112) has managed a 1-0-1 ATS mark and 57.5 PPG in two games at home. Arkansas was cruising along in non-conference play, but Georgia showed us how far it is from being an upper-echelon team. Lane Kiffin’s Rebels are much closer to being a top-tier team, and they’ll show that Saturday.

Over/Under

The OVER 66.5 (-117) is the way to go in this SEC West showdown. Yes, Alabama handed Ole Miss its lunch last week, limiting QB Matt Corral and the Rebs to just 21 points. However, Ole Miss is back in “The Grove” in front of its boisterous fans and they’ll ratchet it up again for huge totals. Arkansas will certainly be much better offensively this week, too.
