Mississippi Rebels vs Texas Longhorns prediction and best bet
Take Mississippi +3 (-105). The Rebels have won against LSU, Missouri and Louisville when each opponent was ranked in the AP Top 25. That experience, combined with Trinidad Chambliss' passing production, makes a road victory a reasonable forecast. Getting three points adds protection against a narrow Texas win.
The clearest matchup advantage involves pressure. Ole Miss has allowed 0.83 sacks per game, while Texas will be without Simmons and fellow edge Richard Wesley. Simmons contributed more than half of the Longhorns' 19 sacks. Texas still brings a defense allowing 17.8 points per game, so this is a medium-confidence selection. The projected result is Mississippi 27, Texas 24.
