Ole Miss visits Mississippi State on Friday at 11 a.m. for the annual Battle of the Golden Egg.
Amid plenty of noise from Lane Kiffin, the Rebels can make the College Football Playoff and lock up the program’s first 11-win regular season. Meanwhile, the Bulldogs could be bowl eligible in the second year of Jeff Lebby’s leadership. Lebby was Kiffin’s offensive coordinator with the Rebels before a two-year stint at Oklahoma.
Ole Miss has won four of the last five Egg Bowls, with the only state win coming against Kiffin in 2022. The Rebels opened as 8.5-point favorites, but that line has dropped to six points over the course of the week.
