Egg Bowl Mississippi State vs Ole Miss Prediction and Odds 2022

Our official Egg Bowl prediction was taken from The Duel's Mississippi State vs Ole Miss betting preview.

Ole Miss stumbles into this rivalry off a pair of losses to Arkansas and Alabama. The Rebels have lost three of their last four games while gridning through tougher SEC games. The Ole Miss pass defense ranks No. 95 in the country in QB rating for opposing quarterbacks. Now they face the SEC's leading passer Will Rodgers (3,464 yards, 32 TD passes).

Ole Miss has won the last two Egg Bowls and coaches Lane Kiffin and Mike Leach meet a third straight time. But there are concerns in this matchup with the Old Miss defense against the Air Raid attack with Miss State QB Will Rodgers spreading the ball around to five Bulldogs receivers with at least 30 receptions and 3 TD receptions or more. The Rebels have allowed at least 28 points in six straight games after not allowing that many points in any of their first five games this season.

Ole Miss does counter with the strongest rushing attack of all Power 5 teams averaging 283 rushing YPG vs FBS opponents. But Mississippi State's run defense has been pretty solid allowing 154 rushing YPG and holding Georgia to 179 and Alabama to just 29 rushing yards on 27 attempts in a road defeat.
