Ole Miss Rebels Betting Trends
Ole Miss has demonstrated an increasing tendency to keep scores under in recent games, particularly road matches against Mississippi State. While Ole Miss is 6-1 against them overall and 1-4 ATS during that span; this trend suggests that while Ole Miss is likely to win but may fail to cover the spread.

Their record of 3-6 straight up in those same 9 games shows some inconsistency while Ole Miss has kept score under consistently against them.
Ole Miss Rebels vs. Mississippi State Bulldogs 11/23/23 Betting Picks
In final prediction based on statistical analysis and betting trends points towards Ole Miss winning this matchup, though by a closer margin than anticipated by the spread. Their powerful offense led by Dart is expected to take control, but Georgia Tech has shown incredible resilience when facing them at home games in particular.
Regarding top premium choices, Ole Miss would likely be the safer option given their overall performance this season; however, an under wager might also make sense due to previous low-scoring games between these teams.
