By james art The Ole Miss Rebels are coming off a bye week and hope to get back on track in SEC play on Saturday when they host the controversial Oklahoma Sooners.
Oklahoma lost last week in a 35-9 blowout at home to the South Carolina Gamecocks and they come to Oxford this week as heavy underdogs. According to FanDuel Sportsbook at the time of this writing, the Rebels are favored by 18.5 points this week as they look to earn their second conference win of the season.
You can see the full odds for the game below.
Distribution: Oklahoma +18.5, Ole Miss -18.5
Money line: Oklahoma +760, Ole Miss -1300
Over/Under: 47.5 (-110)
Ole Miss has gotten off to a rough start in SEC play, losing an upset at home to Kentucky and dropping a game it had every chance of winning in Baton Rouge against LSU. Between those losses was a dominant win over South Carolina in Columbia, the same team that beat Oklahoma this weekend.
If Ole Miss hopes to reach the College Football Playoff (one of its main preseason expectations), it likely needs to win out in the regular season to secure a berth. That would include wins over Oklahoma, Arkansas, Georgia, Florida and Mississippi State.
The Rebels and Sooners opener is set for 11 a.m. Saturday at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.
