In their only previous meeting back in 2018, Texas won 85-72 at home, covering the spread, as the game went over the point total. In this Texas Longhorns vs Ole Miss Rebels Prediction, Ole Miss is coming as a -5.5 home favorites. Both teams have been very good this season, and are very close both offensively and defensively. Both teams have also been elite defensively this season, as they are top-60 in the nation, allowing 132.6 points per game combined.
