## The matchup

Missouri has been rolling defensively lately. The Tigers beat Texas A&M Aggies 27-6 in their most recent outing, and before that they hung 45 points on Florida Gators in a 45-17 win. Their only blemish in that stretch was a 24-31 loss on the road to Mississippi State Bulldogs.

Ole Miss just put together its biggest offensive showing of the bunch, beating Vanderbilt Commodores 52-17 on the road. That win came right after a 28-52 loss to Florida Gators, and before that the Rebels had taken down LSU Tigers 32-24. The swings in that stretch make Ole Miss tough to pin down heading into this one.

## Key matchups

This one comes down to Missouri's defense against Ole Miss's offense. The Tigers have allowed just 106 points on the season, among the stingiest marks on this schedule, while the Rebels have put up 194 points of their own. Something has to give.

Flip it around and Ole Miss's defense, which has allowed 140 points, has to find a way to slow a Missouri offense that has scored 215 points this year. Whichever side wins that battle up front likely decides the afternoon in Oxford.

## The pick

The betting line has Ole Miss as a 5.5-point favorite with a market score of 32-27 and a total of 58.5, suggesting oddsmakers expect this one to be a track meet. Missouri's defensive numbers this season give the Tigers a real case to keep it closer than the spread suggests, especially coming off two straight wins. But Ole Miss playing at home off a 52-17 win carries its own momentum, and the market's lean toward the Rebels reflects that.
