Road Team Struggling in the Egg Bowl

Ole Miss and Mississippi State will do battle for the Egg Bowl once more Saturday when the Rebels travel to Starkville. Ole Miss may not be in an enviable position as the road team is a lowly 1-10 SU in the last 11 Egg Bowl’s.

Shark Bites
  • Mississippi State is 24-58 SU in their last 82 following a loss.
  • Ole Miss is 2-5 SU and 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven road games.
  • Dak Prescott threw for 282 yards and one touchdown in last week’s Egg Bowl.

This season has just been bizarre for Ole Miss. Three losses pretty much have Ole Miss out of the conversation for a meaningful bowl game, but three of their wins have come against Alabama, LSU and Auburn. The Rebels can still win the SEC West if they win the Egg Bowl and ‘Bama losses to Auburn.

Mississippi State is coming off one of the most exciting games of the week with a 51-50 victory over Arkansas. Quarterback Dak Prescott threw for 508 yards and five touchdowns, but the Bulldogs defense allowed Brandon Allen to throw seven touchdown passes.
