Ole Miss Football: 2018 Game-by-game predictions
After the Arkansas game, the Ole Miss schedule starts to ramp up significantly in degree of difficulty. Already projected to be bowl eligible at this point, they’ll be glad to have some buffer room down the stretch. Ole Miss will likely be underdogs in four of their final five games, starting with a home tilt against Auburn.
The Tigers have legitimate national championship aspirations, and they’ll be ready to play. Jarrett Stidham and a host of talented playmakers on defense should be able to out-talent Ole Miss regardless of what methods the Rebels might throw at them.
Auburn will face questions at the running back position. Both Kamryn Pettway and Kerryon Johnson have moved on, setting the stage for Kam Martin. Martin averaged 6.1 yards per carry last season. That’s more than enough effective to win with a defense as good as Auburn’s. This one should be relatively low scoring with the Rebels running out of steam.
