Can Kentucky Defense Slow Down Ole Miss?

The Kentucky Wildcats are off to a 2-2 start to this season, but that will feel like a disappointment given that they are 0-2 in SEC play. The Wildcats have wins over Southern Miss and Ohio under their belts in non-conference competition but they have averaged just 9.0 points per game in their two conference games in 2024. They will likely need a lot more than that to get the better of an Ole Miss team that has been one of the most prolific offensive teams in all of college football in the first half of the season.

Ole Miss Opens SEC Play After 4-0 Start

Ole Miss is 4-0 after running roughshod over their four non-conference opponents to open up the season. Quarterback Jaxson Dart is in the running to win the Heisman Trophy this year after throwing 12 touchdown passes in those four games for an Ole Miss offense that has averaged 55.0 points per game early in the year. But those games against teams like Middle Tennessee and Wake Forest are likely to be much easier than games against Kentucky and the rest of the SEC. This will be the first chance for the Rebels to prove themselves in conference play, as the top scoring team in college football clashes with a stout Kentucky defense.

Kentucky vs Ole Miss Best Bet

Make no mistake, Kentucky has a better defense than anything Ole Miss has seen so far this year in college football. But we still like the home team to cover the spread in this Kentucky vs Ole Miss matchup. Look for Lane Kiffin's team to continue to put up points in bunches and for Kentucky to be unable to keep up with them, as Ole Miss should move to 5-0 on the season and potentially into the top-five in the nation depending on the other results around college football on Saturday.
