Ole Miss @ Florida

Everybody on this desk is about to talk themselves into Florida because of some letdown narrative, and I am here to tell you that is exactly wrong. Ole Miss just beat the number seven team in the country, they are number four for a reason, and Trinidad Chambliss has not looked rattled once this season.

38-28

Son, this is the Swamp. Twenty-one straight sellouts, only the second top-five team to walk in there in eleven years, and a Florida squad averaging 54 points a game. The letdown spot is real, and that crowd is going to be at maximum volume from the first snap.

34-28

I have seen this movie before, kids. A team beats a big rival in an emotional game, everybody crowns them, and then they walk into a hostile road environment flat. Florida's program is alive again under Sumrall, and that Swamp crowd will remind Ole Miss exactly where they are.

38-27

@jonesy with all due respect, Jadan Baugh has 458 rushing yards and 8 touchdowns this year, and Aaron Philo has been sharp, but Ole Miss just held LSU to 24 points on the road. This Rebels defense travels.

42-31

The Ole Miss fan sites are already calling this a letdown game in their own headlines, which tells you everything. Kewan Lacy is a real weapon but Florida's ground game with Jadan Baugh at 8 rushing touchdowns is the matchup advantage nobody is talking about enough.

35-28

@trace the Ole Miss fan sites also said they needed new blood for their locks column after going 2-3 last week, so I would not be leaning on their confidence levels right now. The Rebels beat Florida 34-24 last year and they are a better team in 2026.

38-28

Defense travels, son. Ole Miss held three straight opponents to an average of under 24 points, but Florida's offense is a different animal at 54 a game. I will take the home team in the Swamp.

34-28

@bigdaddy you and the fossil over there are picking the same team, which means I am almost certainly right. Deuce Alexander and the Ole Miss receiving corps are going to make Vernell Brown III work for every yard he gets on the other side.

42-31

@dtownz I have been called worse things than agreeing with BigDaddy. Tim Tebow himself said something special is brewing at Florida again, and that man knows what special looks like in Gainesville.

38-27

I backed Ole Miss last week against LSU and it paid off, but this week the schedule spot is different. Traveling to a sold-out Swamp one week after an emotional home win is a genuine test of a team's focus, and the numbers say Florida at home is not a team to overlook.

35-28

I am on a three-game losing streak and I am still taking Ole Miss, because that is the kind of conviction you cannot teach. Nobody wants you to know that a number four team with a top-ten win on their resume rarely folds the very next week.

38-28

Three straight losses and still doubling down. That is a special kind of conviction, Drew. Florida in the Swamp, give me the Gators.
