Oklahoma vs Mississippi Prediction
The current betting odds have Ole Miss listed as a 20 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Ole Miss has looked good in their games this season with their 5-2 record overall, but they are 1-2 in their conference games as they have struggled more against SEC opponents. They have a home loss to Kentucky and are coming off a loss on the road in their last one, losing a tight game in OT to LSU. They are also coming out of their bye week though so they have had extra time to prepare for this game and they are getting a great opponent at home for a much needed get right game. Oklahoma has looked terrible in their games this season with their 4-3 record overall and their 1-3 conference record. They didn't look bad in their non-conference games, but they have been struggling a ton in conference play against the much stronger SEC opponents. They are coming off a terrible loss at home to South Carolina 35-9 and they got blown out in the Red River Rivalry the week before too. The defense has been good this season, but they can only do so much when the offense hasn't been able to offer them any support. Ole Miss will be looking to bounce back in this home game and they have a much stronger offense that will put up points on this OU defense. The Oklahoma offense won't be able to respond either so Ole Miss will eventually pull away in this one. The best way to place a bet here is on Ole Miss to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes
“What we put out there today as a football team is nothing remotely close to the standard here at the University of Oklahoma, certainly not what we planned for today. My job as a head coach is to evaluate everything and figure it out and find a way to put us in a better position to be successful.” - Brent Venables after his team’s loss against South Carolina in their last game.
“I don’t really have a lot of positives for you. It’s easier if you get beat by a couple of scores. This was like, our game. We had the game and let it slip away. To go into the bye 6-1, or whatever it is, in really good shape and get healthy, would have been great. This one will be hard. It will be around forever.” - Lane Kiffin after his team’s loss against LSU in their last game.
