The Ole Miss Rebels still have a chance to make the College Football Playoff. But they desperately need this win against the Oklahoma Sooners in Norman.

The Rebels currently have a 17% chance to make it. With a win on Saturday, that jumps to 28%. Of course, the Sooners don’t really have a chance anymore. But they can still play the spoiler role. This new-look offense under Jason Witten could surprise Ole Miss.

Final Score Predictions for Missouri at Georgia

Ole Miss 28, Oklahoma 20: Ryan Roberts, A to Z Notre Dame

I expect Trinidad Chambliss and the Ole Miss offense to bounce back big after some recent inconsistencies. The Rebels should find more success with explosive plays, and Chambliss looks much more comfortable running the offense. Oklahoma’s defense will have its moments, especially as the game progresses, but I think Ole Miss will score early enough to put points on the board and establish control. The Rebels have too much offensive firepower to stay quiet for another week.

Oklahoma should make things interesting, though. The Sooners’ defense eventually settles in and makes life more difficult for Chambliss, keeping this from turning into a shootout. Oklahoma’s problem is on the other side of the ball. John Mateer and the Sooners offense continue to struggle with consistency, and they won’t be able to match Ole Miss possession for possession. The Rebels pull away in the second half and earn a solid SEC road victory.

Ole Miss 33, Oklahoma 19: Rob Gregson, A to Z Alabama

The Sooners played one of their better games of the season last week against Florida, while Ole Miss arguably had their worst performance in the last two years. The Rebels are now on the outside looking in on the CFP, and it will take them winning out and getting some help to change course. But that starts on Saturday. Oklahoma has been disappointing on offense this year, though the change at OC seems to have reinvigorated that unit. But I expect Trinidad Chambliss and Pete Golding to overwhelm the sides of the ball they face and get the job done.

Ole Miss 24, Oklahoma 16: Tyler Forness, A to Z Florida

There is a lot of excitement surrounding Jason Witten as the new play caller, but I’m not buying the hype just yet. The Sooners weren’t doing much differently against the Florida Gators than they were with Ben Arbuckle, but their execution was better. I’ll be keeping them at arm’s length for now. The Rebels are holding on for dear life in their playoff hopes, and it all starts with Trinidad Chambliss on offense. He’ll have to put things together after a brutal loss to the Georgia Bulldogs last week, and if he does, the Rebels have a very winnable two games to finish the year.

Ole Miss 27, Oklahoma 17: Craig Smith, A to Z Tennessee

Some had circled this game before the year as a potential late-season sleeper in the SEC. Despite both Ole Miss (vs. LSU) and Oklahoma (vs. Texas) having their moments, both teams will see their years end in disappointing fashion after making the playoff last year.

Despite an improved offensive effort last week from OU in a 23-7 win at Florida after firing OC Ben Arbuckle, I trust Trinidad Chambliss and the Rebel offense far more than the Sooners in this spot. Not a runaway, but the Sooners can’t make a second-half push to keep
Up.
