Ole Miss Favored In Egg Bowl, Five Betting Lines Set For 2023
In this story:
The Ole Miss Rebels are staring down a projected 7.5-win season in 2023, according to DraftKings Sportsbook, and they now know five betting lines for next season as well.
DraftKings Sportsbook has the Rebels as underdogs by 19.5 points to Georgia, 15.5 points to Alabama and 4.5 points to LSU, while being favored by 3.5 points against Texas A&M and by 1.5 points in the Egg Bowl against Mississippi State.
Last season, Ole Miss was 4-8-1 against the spread, covering as massive favorites against Central Arkansas, Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt and as an 11-point underdog to Alabama.
The Crimson Tide have absolutely owned the Rebels in the all-time series, as Ole Miss has won just 10 games in 66 matchups and is currently on an active seven-game losing streak. During that skid, Alabama is averaging 52.9 points per game.
However, the Rebels have covered in three of the last five contests against the Crimson Tide.
In the first matchup between Ole Miss and Georgia since 2016, the Rebels are looking to get in the win column against the Bulldogs for the first time since a 31-27 win in Athens, GA. in 1996. Ole Miss' 45-14 victory in 2016 was vacated due to NCAA sanctions.
LSU holds the all-time series against Ole Miss 65-41-4 and the Tigers are outright winners of six of the last seven head to head. In the last five games, Ole Miss only covered as nine-point favorites in 2021.
In the last five matchups when the Rebels are an underdog against LSU, they are 1-3-1 against the spread.
The Aggies own the all-time series 9-3, but since they have joined the Southeastern Conference it has been an even 5-5 head-to-head with Ole Miss' 2014 and 2016 victories getting vacated. Last season as three-point favorites against Texas A&M, both teams pushed in a 31-28 Rebels victory.
With the Egg Bowl, throw out all the trends. Rivalry games are anyone's to win, as the series has been split 4-4 since 2015.
However, the Rebels have failed to cover in each of their last three games as favorites against Mississippi State — 2016, 2020 and 2022 — losing outright in two contests.
