2024 Mississippi Rebels College Football Betting

Last year, the Ole Miss Rebels compiled a double-digit win season for the second time in three years. Head coach Lane Kiffin has led Ole Miss to bowl games in all four of his seasons, and the Rebels cracked the Top Ten for a final ranking in 2023, the first time since 2015. Those are the only two Top Ten finishes for Ole Miss since 1969 when Archie Manning was the QB.

This year, expectations could not be higher for Ole Miss. With the retirement of Alabama coach Nick Saban, Ole Miss is hoping to fill that void and become a serious and consistent SEC contender.

Lane Kiffin has earned the moniker “King of the Portal” with plenty of justification. Kiffin has become the master of getting players from other schools to transfer into his program. Ole Miss will have as much talent as almost any team that they face in 2024. And QB Jaxson Dart may be the best in the SEC.

2024 Mississippi Rebels Betting Preview

The majority of Ole Miss’ key contributors from last season decided to give it one more go in an attempt to reach an expanded CFP field in 2024. The Rebels added impact players through the transfer portal at nearly every level, too. Ole Miss is coming off its first 11-win season ever, and expectations are as high as they’ve ever been in Oxford. This team is talented, well-coached and battle-tested. The Rebels — at least on paper — have the makings of an SEC contender.

The defending Peach Bowl champions received a major boost on New Year’s Day when quarterback Jaxson Dart announced he would be returning to Oxford for his senior season. The USC transfer has been the Rebels’ starter the last two seasons and was among the most efficient passers in the country in 2023, throwing for 3,364 yards, 23 touchdowns, and just five interceptions with another eight touchdowns on the ground.

He returns three premier receiving options in receivers Tre Harris and Jordan Watkins and tight end Caden Prieskorn, who had a combined 2,175 receiving yards and 15 TDs in 2023. The Rebels also added former All-SEC receiver Antwane Wells Jr. from South Carolina. All-SEC running back Quinshon Judkins transferred to Ohio State, leaving Ulysses Bentley IV (540 yards, four scores in ’23) as the leading returning rusher. Transfers Henry Parrish Jr. (Miami) and Jacory Croskey-Merritt (New Mexico) will push Bentley IV for carries.

Following a 52-17 loss at Georgia, Rebels head coach Lane Kiffin acknowledged that his team needed to get bigger and stronger, particularly up front. The additions of Walter Nolen and Princely Umanmielen were a step in the right direction.

Ole Miss has a unique reputation in college football. The Rebels won the last of their six conference championships in 1963. Their last national championship was in 1962. Success at Ole Miss is defined by making a bowl game and pulling off an upset. Recruiting limitations begin with the small in-state population.

Yet everyone has a trip to Oxford, MS, on their bucket list. The Grove is one of the most iconic pregame venues in college football. And the girls are the prettiest. In fact, the old saying is that Ole Miss is where Miss America goes to red shirt!

John Vaught, whose name is honored at Vaught-Hemmingway Stadium, is the greatest coach in Ole Miss history. Vaught put up four double-digit win seasons from 1955 through 1962 and led the Rebels to ten Top Ten seasons from 1953 through 1969. Under Vaught, the Rebels went to bowl games in all but two seasons from 1952 through 1970, in an era when making the postseason was difficult.

David Cutcliffe, Houston Nutt, and Hugh Freeze all had some success leading the Ole Miss program. Lane Kiffin is now on pace to become one of the Ole Miss greats and perhaps even challenge Vaught as the GOAT of Ole Miss football coaches.
