<h2>Ole Miss-Mississippi State Betting Odds</h2>
<p>This week's college football betting lines opened the Bulldogs as one-point favorites over the Rebs, with an over/under of right around 61. Both those figures were holding steady in the early betting action.</p>
<h2>Ole Miss-Mississippi State College Football Betting Preview</h2>
<p>The Rebels ride a three-game winning streak into Thursday night following a 31-17 victory over Vanderbilt last Saturday. Ole Miss drove the opening possession of the game 65 yards to a touchdown, led 10-0 five minutes in, and 24-9 at the half. The Rebs then scored the first seven points of the second half and cruised from there for the win. However, they came up way short of covering the spread as 35-point favorites.</p>
<p>Ole Miss produced 470 yards of total offense Saturday but gave up 454 yards of Commodores offense, including 213 on the ground, and lost time of possession by a 39:21 split.</p>
<p>The Rebels have now out-gained five of their last six opponents. They're also 6-1 SU, 4-2 ATS over their last seven games.</p>
<p>At 9-2 overall, Ole Miss has clinched its first winning record since 2015, and a victory Thursday night might earn it a spot in a New Year's Day bowl.</p>
<p>The Bulldogs, meanwhile, are 4-1 SU and 5-0 ATS their last five times out after beating FCS Tennessee State last Saturday 55-10. Mississippi State scored touchdowns on five of its first six possessions of the game and led 35-0 at the half. The Bulldogs then scored the first 14 points out of the locker room and later tacked on a field goal with 27 seconds left to cover the spread as 44-point favorites.</p>
<p>That's how you keep boosters happy.</p>
<p>MSU out-gained the Tigers 600-205. So the Bulldogs have now out-gained each of their last five opponents, three by 200 yards and more.</p>
<p>And 7-4 overall, Mississippi State has clinched its first winning season since 2018 and its 12th straight bowl bid, although it didn't deserve one last year.

Ole Miss vs. Mississippi St. Prediction ATS 11/25/21

Ole Miss is averaging 517 yards per game on offense this season, but that Rebels defense concerns us after giving up 454 yards to a poor Vanderbilt outfit last week. Meanwhile, Coach Leach might be offense-oriented, but his Mississippi State defense is pretty good. Also, these two teams played six common opponents this season; Ole Miss played Alabama, Arkansas, LSU, Auburn, Texas A&M, and Vandy to +7 yards per game while the Bulldogs played those six foes to +84 YPG. Also, of MSU's four losses this season, three have come by a total of eight points. A few plays here and there, and Mississippi State might be 9-2, too. We're betting the Bulldogs here.
