The 12th ranked Ole Miss Rebels won their 2nd straight game and improved to 8-2 on the season after defeating the 11th ranked Texas A&M Aggies, 29-19, this past Saturday. Ole Miss did a great job generating offense against one of the better defenses in all of College Football and was able to pull away after a 51-yard pick-six by the Rebels AJ Finley gave the Rebels a 29-13 lead with 4:50 left in the 4th quarter. Ole Miss outgained Texas A&M by a 504-378 margin and won the turnover battle by a 2-1 margin in the victory. Leading the way for the Rebels was RB Jerrion Ealy who had 24 carries for 152 yards to go along with 4 receptions for 34 yards.

Defensively, Ole Miss is allowing their opponents to an average of 26.2 ppg on 426.0 total yards per game (237.3 passing yds/g; 188.7 rushing yds/g).
The Commodores are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 November games and 6-2 ATS in their last 8 road games. The Rebels are 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 home games & 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games after allowing less than 20 points in their previous game.
Ole Miss is coming off two impressive victories against Liberty & Texas A&M and have one of the better offenses in the country as they come into this game ranked 15th in scoring offense & 3rd in rushing offense. Vanderbilt had really struggled on both ends of the field this season as they currently rank just 128th in scoring offense & 115th in scoring defense and as they Commodores have already lost by 39+ points to Georgia, Mississippi State, & Florida, I think the Rebels will be able to dominate on both ends of the field in this one and cover this large home spread. Good Luck!
