At the beginning of the season, Ole Miss had nearly everyone convinced, including the mainstream college football news, that it was the second coming of Alabama. Ranked No. 6, puffing their chests out, it was all “Landshark defense” and Lane Kiffin’s quippy Twitter for the Rebels.
Fast forward to now: they’re 2-2 in the SEC and, last week, they barely scraped by Oklahoma in a game that looked more like two raccoons fighting over a bag of chips than a dominant SEC team. Ole Miss won, but it was 26-14 — hardly inspiring.
Now the Rebels face Arkansas, a team that came off a win so dominant that you’d think they were Alabama in disguise. Last week, the Razorbacks put a 58-2 beatdown on Mississippi State, with quarterback Taylen Green throwing five touchdowns and running in another like he was on a personal mission to destroy the Bulldogs’ defense.
However, let’s not kid ourselves. This is Arkansas we’re talking about, the kings of inconsistency. The motto for the Razorbacks this season could be “We’ll surprise you, but don’t expect it every week.”

2 Betting Keys for Ole Miss vs Arkansas
1. Rebels Defense Wins … Low-Scoring Games
Let’s talk about the real star here: the Ole Miss defense. The Rebels have somehow managed to become a sack factory, leading the country with 34 sacks. If the Razorbacks think they’re going to air it out like they did against Mississippi State, they might want to reconsider. Ole Miss is also ranked 11th in total defense and allows a stingy 12.6 points per game. It is basically the Grinch of touchdowns allowed.

To make matters worse for Arkansas, Ole Miss has been a graveyard for rushing attacks. Opponents are averaging a laughable 83.9 rushing yards per game against the Rebels, the third-best mark in the nation. So if Arkansas plans to play ground-and-pound football, it better bring a shovel because Ole Miss is digging graves out there. This makes my College Football Predictions for Ole Miss vs Arkansas easy.
2. Arkansas: Run First, Ask Questions Later
While Arkansas might have lit up the scoreboard against Mississippi State, that’s likely a mirage. The Razorbacks love to run the ball and they’ve been successful in that department, as shown in their upset win over Tennessee. That game plan could be the key to keeping this close, but it’s also a recipe for burning the clock and – you guessed it – keeping the Under in play.
The Razorbacks aren’t exactly known for offensive fireworks against top defenses, and Ole Miss isn’t going to give them room to breathe. Sure, Taylen Green looked like a superhero last week, but let’s see him do it with Ole Miss defenders breathing down his neck.
Betting the Under: Lock It In
Here’s the deal: Ole Miss has gone under in seven of eight games this season. Even when the Rebels are firing on offense, their defense is shutting things down harder than a small town after 9 p.m.. Arkansas, for all its flair, is also no stranger to the Under trend, hitting it in four of their last five games.

Add in Ole Miss’ injuries on offense, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for a low-scoring, grind-it-out game. Neither team is likely to light up the scoreboard, and while both defenses are underrated, Ole Miss’s ability to shut down the run will be the key here.
So, get comfortable because this game will be more of a slow burn than a fireworks show. Bet the Under 54 at -110 in your NCAAF picks and thank me later.
