Ole Miss vs Oklahoma: Week 9 Preview & Betting Odds

This Saturday, the Ole Miss Rebels (6–1) travel to Norman to face the Oklahoma Sooners (6–1) in what many are calling one of the biggest matchups of Week 9. Both teams are highly ranked and the stakes are high — a win here could make a major statement in the playoff picture.

Ole Miss comes in after a tough loss to Georgia where they led much of the game but fell in the fourth quarter. Reuters Their offense has been explosive all season, averaging near 492 yards per game and over 37 points per game.

SI Oklahoma, at home, brings a dominant defense that has been one of the nation’s best in stopping the run and creating pressure. SI+1
What to watch:

• Can Ole Miss establish their high-tempo offense and keep it going for four quarters? Their explosive plays are their strength.
• Can Oklahoma’s front-seven and defense force the Rebels into long, mistake-filled drives instead of big plays? That’s their path to victory.
  Odds and spread: Oklahoma enters as about a 4.5 to 5.5-point favorite, with over/under totals in the low 50s. Action Network+1
  Prediction: This game could come down to discipline and turnovers. If Ole Miss can stay clean and keep their tempo, they have a real shot. But Oklahoma’s defense at home may just tip the balance. A likely score: Oklahoma 27, Ole Miss 22. Globely News
