This has shootout written all over it. No. 4 Ole Miss at No. 21 Florida
Both offenses have demonstrated the ability to put points on the board quickly.
Florida’s home-field advantage shouldn’t be underestimated. When the Gators are playing meaningful football, Ben Hill Griffin Stadium becomes one of the SEC’s most difficult environments.
The Rebels need to avoid turnovers because giving Florida short fields could turn this game quickly. Florida, meanwhile, needs to prevent Ole Miss from generating the explosive plays that can erase a lead in seconds.
Expect several momentum swings and very little breathing room. Florida’s running attack keeps the Gators in position to win throughout the afternoon, but Ole Miss has demonstrated enough offensive balance and composure to earn the narrow edge.
Prediction: Ole Miss 38, Florida 34
