Why Ole Miss can cover
Ole Miss has recorded four straight victories by at least 34 points, and they have covered the spread in five consecutive games dating back to last season. Quarterback Jaxson Dart leads all FBS players with 388.5 passing yards per game, and he is tied for fourth in passing touchdowns (12). The Rebels lead the country in total yards per game (670.8), passing yards per game (422.8) and points per game (55.0).
Kentucky simply does not have enough offensive firepower to match Ole Miss, as the Wildcats failed to score a touchdown in their first two SEC games. They are now just 1-7 in their last eight conference games, and they are winless against Ole Miss in three attempts under head coach Mark Stoops. The Rebels have not had an opportunity to showcase their offense against an SEC opponent, so they will be motivated to make a statement on Saturday. See which team to pick here.
Why Kentucky can cover
It is difficult to evaluate how good Ole Miss is, as the Rebels have not faced an opponent of note up to this point. Meanwhile, Kentucky has already proven that it can push one of the best teams in college football, leading for the majority of its 13-12 loss to then-No. 1 Georgia two weeks ago. The Wildcats bounced back from that loss with a 41-6 win over Ohio, as quarterback Brock Vandagriff completed 17 of 24 passes for 237 yards.
Wide receiver Dane Key had seven receptions for 145 yards as the Wildcats put up 488 total yards. These teams have faced each other three times during Mark Stoops’ tenure at Kentucky, with Ole Miss winning all three matchups by a combined seven points. The Wildcats have covered the spread in seven of their last 10 road games, and they have covered in five of their last six games overall. See which team to pick here.
