Mississippi vs Arkansas Prediction
The current betting odds have Ole Miss listed as a 7 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Ole Miss has looked good in their games this season with their 6-2 record overall, but they are only 2-2 in their conference games. They lost to Kentucky and LSU this season and they really can't afford another loss if they want to have any chance of getting into the CFP. Meanwhile, Arkansas has looked good in their games this season with their 5-3 record overall and their 3-2 conference record, but they don't really have much of a chance to make the CFP this season. They are 3-1 in their home games and they are coming off a big win over Mississippi State in their last one, but they have struggled a lot more against the better SEC teams they have faced. They weren't able to do much on offense in their loss to Texas A&M and they looked terrible in their home loss to LSU 2 weeks ago. Their defense has looked good in their games, but their offense has been really up and down and that is going to be a big issue with the way this Ole Miss offense can put up points. Ole Miss is coming off a 12 point win in their last one and they have been blowing a lot of teams out this season. Their defense hasn't looked bad either so they aren't going to give up a ton of points in this game and that will allow them to pull away here. The best way to place a bet here is on Ole Miss to cover the spread in this game.

“Really proud of our football team. Coming in, we were really concerned about Mississippi State because of how hard they play. I’m proud of the team and really proud of the offensive line. I thought they played exceptional.” - Sam Pittman after his team’s win against MS State in their last game.
