Ole Miss and Florida have only met five times in the past 20 years, but the Rebels have gone a perfect 5-0 against the spread. The two teams will clash for the first time since 2008 this Saturday in Gainesville.
The Alabama hangover was real last week when Ole Miss barely beat Vanderbilt. Arguably, Ole Miss did not deserve to walk away with a win as they went a terrible 3-for-13 on third down while losing the turnover battle.
The Gators’ offense is limited, but after a huge comeback win last week the team will be riding a high. Florida was down 13 points with less than five minutes left against Tennessee, only to come back and win the game 28-27.
