The Rebels overwhelmed Georgia State with their explosive passing offense, and as a result, threw for a total of 400 yards. Not only that, but Ole Miss rushed for nearly 300 yards, showcasing their balanced offense.
As for Kentucky, its passing offense was all but non-existent. The Wildcats had just 85 yards passing and did most of their damage on the ground, totaling 220 yards. Kentucky’s defense also had some issues when defending the pass, allowing 270 yards through the air.
If Week 1 was any indication, Ole Miss looks as if it may be one of the highest-scoring teams in the country. With that and the lack of passing offense shown by Kentucky, our Ole Miss Rebels vs Kentucky Wildcats prediction is: Ole Miss Rebels -9.5 Alternate Spread.Jackpot Pools
