Scouting Report. ULM Warhawks. 11. player. Pick Analysis. Nov. 18. Oxford, Miss.. 2414

Already bowl eligible at this point in the season, every win from here on out is basically just a cherry on top.

ULM comes to town as the annual “bye week” game for the Rebels which comes against either an FCS or Group of Five team late in the season and they’ll win with ease. This game won’t be very close as Ole Miss takes out its anger from the previous week’s loss to Georgia.

Jaxson Dart may pass for 400 yards and break 3,000 for the season in this one.

Prediction: Win (7-4)

The Egg Bowl will have a different feel to it this year with the tragic passing of Mike Leach this offseason. He’s going to be missed by both fanbases and this game will be a tribute to him.

Mississippi State just won’t have the pieces to take down Ole Miss again, unfortunately. The Rebels are looking for revenge after last year’s devastating loss at home. They’re going to win this one and finish SEC play with a .500 record and eight wins overall in the regular season.

Not a bad year for Lane Kiffin and the Rebels.

Prediction: Win (8-4, 4-4)
