Be careful about what you wish for. At the onset of the Lane Kiffin era at Ole Miss that comes into play. Rebel fans liked coach Matt Luke. After all Luke was an alum of Ole Miss. However, he was not able to move the needle as head coach. Much of it wasn’t his fault. He was left a garbage bag by predecessor Hugh Freeze. Luke offered no steak or sizzle. Counter to that is plenty of sizzle with Kiffin. Now comes the hard part. Hype doesn’t win College Football betting Games. By contrast, Florida is a handful.

Florida Gators vs. Ole Miss Rebels SBG Odds Overview
On this occasion, online betting action may be more even than expected. Kiffin is a natural draw for a public that would otherwise ignore Ole Miss. Florida is a strong draw for entirely different reasons. Coach Dan Mullen has led the Gators to a pair of top-10 seasons. It follows that expectations for Mullen’s program are higher than ever before. Hype for Kiffin may keep the Florida line more affordable. If Luke was Ole Miss coach the price would be much higher. Meaning that sharps may be more willing to make the road chalk lay.
Florida Gators Team Overview
Namely, Kyle Trask became a quarterback folk hero for Florida last year. Trask dramatically improved the passing attack. To illustrate Florida improved from 213.5 to 301 yards passing per game. Cause by Trask’s more polished play. For this reason, Mullen believes the ground game can open for balance.
Ole Miss Rebels Team Overview
It is true that Kiffin had success in his only SEC season as Tennessee coach. He was also well-rated as Alabama offensive coordinator. Otherwise, he redeemed himself with a CUSA title at Florida Atlantic in 2019. Consequently, he begins a major Ole Miss rebuild.
