Why Ole Miss Will Win
What happened to Arkansas?
Star QB KJ Jefferson is expected to be back, but he’s been banged up and in and out of the lineup over the last few weeks, but the offense has generally been okay …
Until last week. The Hogs couldn’t get going in the touch 13-10 loss to LSU, but again, Jefferson is supposed to be back. Even so, even with the main man under center – assuming he’s back – the offense has to be really, really strong to pull this off.
Arkansas is 5-1 when it comes up with over 430 yards and 0-4 when it doesn’t. Ole Miss has only allowed over 430 yards four times, and it won three of the four.

What’s Going To Happen
Assuming Jefferson is going, how accurate can he be?
The running game pays the bills, but this is a far more devastating team when the passing game hits the throws – it’s 4-0 when connecting on more than 64% of the tries.
This will be a back-and-forth fight with all the key skill parts on both sides having big days, but the Rebels will have a little more pop when needed in the final ten minutes.
The amazing Ole Miss running game will do just a little bit more.
