NCAA Football Odds: Betting on Ole Miss 2024 Win Total
- 2023 was the first 11-win season for Ole Miss.
- After a strong 2023 season, in which Ole Miss finished ranked ninth, it is expected to be a playoff team in 2024.
- College football odds need Ole Miss to be a 10-win team to hit the over in win totals, which is possible.
This season for Ole Miss is filled with potential for college football predictions. The Rebels had a great 2023 season, followed by a productive offseason, which has led to legitimate expectations for the team in 2024. Also, now that the college football playoffs are expanding to 12 teams, the Rebels are in line to have a big season.
Because of that, Ole Miss has one of the more interesting win totals for the 2024 season. The Rebels had success in 2023, with a great roster and a favorable schedule, and the over-on-a-high win total line seems very possible.
How to Bet on Mississippi’s Regular Season Wins Total in 2024
Last season, Ole Miss won a school record 11 games, finishing the season 11-2. 2023 was an excellent season for the head coach, Lane Kiffin, heading into his fifth season in charge of the program in 2024. Under Kiffin, there have been ups and downs, but the Rebels have improved from when they went 5-5 in 2020, his first season with the team.
The culmination of all the growth over the prior three seasons led to the success in 2023 and now the expectations in 2024. Going into this season, Ole Miss is favored to make the expanded 12-team playoffs in college football picks with its line set at -130 to make it.
The Rebels also have the fourth-best odds of winning the SEC, which is set at +700.

A big part of Ole Miss’ success last season was because of the offense, and it should be able to stay on that track. Quarterback Jaxson Dart was outstanding last season, throwing for 3,364 yards, 23 touchdowns, and only five interceptions. Dart might not be one of the favorites to win the Heisman Trophy this season, but it won’t be a complete shock with his odds set at +1200.
Despite running back Quinshon Judkins transferring, the Rebels’ offense still has a lot of talented players. Tre Harris led the team in receiving yards and touchdowns last season, while tight end Caden Prieskorn is supposed to be a significant factor in 2024. There is more than enough talent on this offense to keep college football lines siding with Ole Miss.
However, the biggest question last season was mainly around the defense. While the offense averaged the third most points per game in the SEC (35.1), the defense ranked seventh in the conference (22.3). The Rebels’ defense was not terrible, but if the expectations are now to be a team in the college football playoffs, some improvements will need to be made.

Ole Miss finished the 2023 season ranked ninth in the nation, winning the Peach Bowl against No.10 Penn State. That only created more legitimate expectations for the Rebels, with the 2024 season quickly approaching.
Ole Miss 2024 Schedule Breakdown
While Ole Miss is expected to have a big season and has a talented roster to back that up, often, a team’s schedule can decide its win total. The Rebels have a very interesting schedule, which could help them in college football betting by hitting the over.
The Rebels start the season with four easy games against Furman, Middle Tennessee, Wake Forest, and Georgia Southern. That should lead to a solid 4-0 start for Ole Miss and a great start to 2024.
SEC play will be a lot more difficult, but Ole Miss has managed to avoid Alabama on its schedule, but not Georgia, who is still a threat to win the SEC and National Championship. Despite only facing one of the SEC’s powerhouses this season, going on the road against South Carolina, LSU, and Florida will still be challenging.

Ole Miss 2024 Win Total Prediction: Over 9.5
The win total for Ole Miss has been set at 9.5, which feels like a clear over, with college football odds at -115. Not having to face Alabama or Texas is big for the Rebels, who still have a challenging schedule with tough matchups on the road. Still, even with those tough road matchups, the Rebels roster has more than enough talent for a 10-win season and a trip to the playoffs.
