The matchup
Ole Miss has been streaky. The Rebels got blown out 7-42 by the Georgia Bulldogs last week after hanging 45 points on Auburn the week before in a 45-15 win. Sandwiched in there is a 27-34 loss to the Texas Longhorns, plus wins over the Missouri Tigers (31-3) and the Vanderbilt Commodores (52-17). On the season Ole Miss has put up 304 points and allowed 234.
Oklahoma has been just as up and down. The Sooners beat the Florida Gators 23-7 last week, but that followed a 25-42 loss to the South Carolina Gamecocks. Before that it was a 23-15 win over the Mississippi State Bulldogs, a 13-21 loss to the Kentucky Wildcats, and a 27-24 win over the Texas Longhorns. Oklahoma's season numbers sit at 199 points scored and 173 allowed, a quieter profile than Ole Miss's shootout totals.
Key matchups
This one likely comes down to which offense travels better. Ole Miss has shown it can score in bunches, dropping 45 and 52 points in wins this season, but it's also been held to single digits twice, including last week's 7-point output against Georgia. If that offense shows up, Oklahoma's defense, which has kept five of its last five opponents under 25 points, will have its hands full.
Oklahoma's formula has leaned on tighter, lower-scoring wins, three of its five victories this season coming by single digits or in defensive slogs. That style sets up a contrast with an Ole Miss team built for bigger numbers. Whichever side imposes its pace, fast and loose or slow and physical, probably decides it.
The pick
Oklahoma is favored by 2.5 at home with the total set at 49.5, and the market lists a projected score of 26-24 in the Sooners' favor. Oklahoma's home win streak and its knack for close games give it a slight edge in a game expected to be tight. Ole Miss has the higher ceiling on offense, but its inconsistency, including last week's blowout loss, is the bigger question mark heading into Norman.
