The #13 Ole Miss Rebels (9-2, 5-2 SEC) battle their in-state rivals, the Mississippi State Bulldogs (5-6, 1-6 SEC) on Thursday night in Week 13 action. Ole Miss blew out UL Monrore this past Saturday, 35-3, their seventh home win in a row. They’ll be back on the road here, where they’ve gone 2-2, but they won’t have to go too far. The Bulldogs defeat Southern Miss 41-20 last time out, but they’ll have a tough task ahead of them on Sunday.
Will the Bulldogs pull of an improbable upset, or will the Rebels notch their tenth win?

Game Prediction
The Rebels are one of the best offensive teams in the nation, coming in ranked 12th in total yards and fifth in passing yards per attempt. The Bulldogs are pretty decent defensively, but they’ve struggled at times versus QBs.
The Rebels’ defense should have an edge over Mississippi State, as the Bulldogs rank 105th in total yards, but since this is a rivalry, there is definitely added incentive on both sides. The Bulldogs won last November, 24-22, and we should expect a competitive contest. Since the Bulldogs have been terrible against the spread, we’re going with the under here, as both defenses can hold their won. Also, Mississippi State doesn’t rank well offensively, and the under has hit in each of the last six head-to-head meetings.
Final Pick:
Under 55.5 (-110)
