Rivalry Week kicks off Friday with the Egg Bowl between the 10-1 Rebels and 5-6 Bulldogs at 12:00 PM ET on ABC.
SBR's Isaiah Sirois shares his best Ole Miss vs Mississippi State player prop bets:
Trinidad Chambliss Under 272.5 passing yards (-114 via FanDuel)
"Ole Miss is in disarray, largely due to head coach Lane Kiffin and his likely departure from Oxford. One has to wonder what the effects on the locker room will be – especially the effects on Kiffin’s vaunted passing scheme.
Chambliss is averaging an impressive 288.7 passing yards per game since taking the starting job, but he has only started two SEC road games. Those starts saw his passing efficiency score drop from 157.4 at home to 122.7 on the road, completing only 53.8% of his throws.
Mississippi State has two things to play for on Friday: bowl eligibility and spoiling its rival’s season. Look for its average passing defense, which ranks 55th in yards allowed per passing attempt, to show out."
Kewan Lacy Under 121.5 rushing yards (-117 via Caesars)
"I wanted to buy the Over on Kewan Lacy because Mississippi State’s awful defensive line ranks last in the SEC in defensive line yards, but I can’t stomach a prop total this high. Everything has to go right for Ole Miss and Lacy for this bet to hit. Lacy has gone over this number in only three of his seven SEC games.
The trick is that this is a road matchup. While Lacy exploded for 138 rushing yards at Kentucky, he stayed under 100 versus Georgia (31) and Oklahoma (78). Mississippi State may not have as strong a defense as those schools, but I trust them not to let Lacy run roughshod as they look to secure a bowl game berth."
Brenen Thompson Anytime TD scorer (+145 via DraftKings)
"If Mississippi State is going to put up a fight on Friday, wide receiver Brenen Thompson will need to find the end zone. Thompson scored twice in the near-miss versus Texas and leads the team in receiving touchdowns (6). He also ran for a score earlier in the year.
Thompson may not have the frame of an elite boundary receiver, but he has the shiftiness and speed necessary to find the end zone, which is why he averages an impressive 18.5 yards per reception. He also excels at home, where he has scored six of his seven touchdowns."
