Preseason Odds and Game Lines for Ole Miss Entering 2026 Season

In this story:
With the start of the college football season just over two weeks away, sportsbooks are releasing more point spreads and finalizing future winners for individual awards as well as team trophies.
For Ole Miss, largely why it’s a highly anticipated 2026 season for the Rebels is because of the two legitimate Heisman Trophy contenders in their offensive backfield that helped engineer a run to the national semifinals last season. Both Trinidad Chambliss and Kewan Lacy are surrounded by, arguably, a more talented team entering what should be their final collegiate seasons.
The Rebels have sky-high expectations once again, but also have a tougher path to return to the College Football Playoffs in Pete Golding's first full year as head coach. However, in two key September games against Louisville in Nashville and LSU in Oxford, Ole Miss is currently favored to pull those two wins out.
Ahead of the upcoming season, we take a look at the early game lines for Ole Miss and preseason odds for the Heisman Trophy and National Championship winner.
