After a tough blowout loss to Florida at The Swamp in Week 5, the Rebels bounced back in impressive fashion, dismantling Vanderbilt 52-17 on the road largely thanks to an incredible performance by quarterback Trinidad Chambliss.
For an Ole Miss team that was abandoned by Lane Kiffin before last year’s College Football Playoff, Chambliss has lit a fire under the Rebels in head coach Pete Golding’s first season at the helm.
Ole Miss enters Week 7 having won four of its first five games and has a challenging SEC schedule around the corner.
As a result, Saturday’s ranked conference matchup at home is undoubtedly a must-win for the Rebels, who travel to Austin next week against Arch Manning’s Texas Longhorns.
Like its Saturday counterpart, Missouri is off to a spectacular start as well, prevailing in five of its first six games of the season.
Missouri QB Austin Simmons has been spectacular in his first year in Columbia, throwing 1,434 passing yards (28th) and 14 touchdowns (T-12), while also only tossing one interception thus far.
Head coach Eli Drinkwitz has his Tigers playing great football, especially on the defensive side of the ball, where his unit is allowing opponents just 17.7 points per game with the eighth-ranked rush defense in college football.
Even so, Ole Miss boasts the best red-zone offense in all of college football, converting 100% of its trips into points up until this point.
Chambliss has some elite playmakers at his disposal, namely wideout Deuce Alexander, who’s already racked up over 500 receiving yards along with five touchdowns in just five games.
Another very underrated storyline ahead of Saturday’s SEC showdown is that Simmons is actually an Ole Miss transfer, which is definitely significant given Golding previously served as the Rebels’ defensive coordinator when the now-Missouri star QB was in Oxford.
I definitely expect that to play a discrete role in how this Rebels’ defense is able to contain Simmons’ versatility under center for the Tigers.
While Ole Miss RB Kewan Lacy has missed significant time this season, the Rebels’ junior has progressively increased his reps over the last couple of weeks as he continues to build his health back up to 100%.
Despite Lacy only having recorded 46 rushing attempts this entire season heading into Week 7, the Ole Miss speedster has still found the back of the end zone in every single game he’s played in.
The Mississippi tailback was a born touchdown-scorer, having found the back of the end zone a whopping 25 times last season.
In what will be the biggest game of Ole Miss’ season this Saturday, I fully expect Lacy to get a steep increase in volume, which should just increase his likelihood of scoring even more.
Given how elite Missouri’s defense has been over its first five games, Lacy gets a great discount to find the back of the end zone at -200, which I’ll definitely be taking a shot on for our SGP.
