Mississippi State vs. Ole Miss odds, line, spread: 2023 Egg Bowl picks, prediction, bets from proven model


The Mississippi State Bulldogs will try to win their sixth game of the season and become bowl-eligible when they host the Ole Miss Rebels in the 2023 Egg Bowl on Thanksgiving night at Davis Wade Stadium in Starkville, Miss. The Bulldogs (5-6 overall, 1-6 in SEC) are one win away from officially clinching bowl eligibility. But if Mississippi State were to lose on Thursday, the team could still earn a bowl invitation if there are not enough six-win teams. Meanwhile, the Rebels (9-2, 5-2) are fighting to earn just the program’s second 10-win regular season and a spot in a New Year’s Day bowl game.

Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. The Rebels are 10-point favorites in the latest Ole Miss vs. Mississippi State odds via SportsLine consensus, while the over/under for total points scored is 54.

Why Ole Miss can cover

Sophomore Quinshon Judkins already is one of the best running backs in program history. The 5-foot-11 Judkins ranks second in Ole Miss history with 30 rushing touchdowns, third in all-purpose touchdowns (32) and fifth in rushing yards (2,500) despite playing just 24 career games. He is just 67 rushing yards away from becoming just the second Ole Miss player – and the first since 1950 – to break 1,000 rushing yards in a season twice.

In addition, the Ole Miss offense face a Mississippi State defense that has struggled in the red zone this season. Opponents are scoring on 91.2% of drives in the red zone against the Bulldogs, which ranks 116th in the country. That bodes well for an Ole Miss team that ranks 48th in the nation in red zone offense (86.8%). See which team to pick here.

Why Mississippi State can cover

Senior linebacker Nathaniel Watson is a relentless playmaker on defense. The 6-foot-2, 245-pound senior ranks second in the conference in tackles (116), one year after finishing second in the SEC last season. In a 41-20 victory over Southern Miss last week, Watson made a career-high 21 tackles, the most by an SEC defender since 2017. He also registered a forced fumble and his 10th sack of the season.

In addition, Watson and the rest of the Mississippi State defense face an Ole Miss offense that has struggled with penetration this season. The Rebels rank 114th in the country in tackles for loss allowed per game (7.18). They also are 80th in sacks allowed per game (2.27). See which team to pick here.
