Mississippi Rebels College Football Betting
Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin continues to produce bowl seasons. But the Rebels have been looking for a signature win in the Kiffin era. Kiffin’s dream of beating his old mentor fell apart two weeks ago. Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide were gettable. But Ole Miss never threatened. Last week, there was a shot at another name brand program. Ole Miss hosted the LSU Tigers and won a stunning comeback and payout. This week, the Arkansas Razorbacks come calling to the Grove.

Ole Miss has a unique reputation in college football. The Rebels won the last of their six conference championships in 1963. And 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!
