We like the Rebels to pull away in the second half.īest Bet: Ole Miss -10.5 over Mississippi StateĪ classic Black Friday matchup gets underway at noon, with the 9-2 Hawkeyes heading to Lincoln. Offensively, the Bulldogs just aren’t a passing threat and an Ole Miss defense that’s been up and down this year shouldn’t have many problems. Mississippi State might make it interesting for a while, but this is the best offense they’ve seen since giving up 530 yards to LSU in mid-September. It’s been a long year in Starkville, but a chance to end the season on a high note with a major rivalry upset on Thanksgiving night is more than enough motivation for the Rebels to bring it strong at Davis Wade Stadium. The Bulldogs, meanwhile, are in the market for a new head coach after parting ways with Zach Arnett two weeks ago. Ole Miss is out of the SEC race but has a chance for its second 10-win season in three years. These teams are 11-11 against each other over the last 22 years and we’ll see if the Rebels can get the upper hand in 2023 as a double-digit favorite. We’ll get things started this week with the Egg Bowl, one of the most competitive rivalries in the country in recent years. College Football Week 13 Best Bets Ole Miss -10.5 over Mississippi State
