Mike Spector's pick: Ole Miss +3.5 (-112 via FanDuel)
Over the last three seasons, Texas is 16-6 against AP top-25 teams. But each of its last three games this season has been decided by exactly three points, and that makes getting Ole Miss at anything more than a field goal a great value play, even if the lookahead line on this game was much higher at -8.5.
Texas hasn’t scored more than 24 points in four of its last five games and will likely need to get its offense going against a Rebels squad that has scored 28+ in every game.
I’m worried that head coach Steve Sarkisian will have a short leash with Arch Manning after being critical of his starting quarterback to the media. So while the Ole Miss defense has allowed 33 plays of 20 or more yards (t-121st) and ranks 116th Ole Miss 116th in 20+ yard pass plays allowed, Texas isn’t built to expose that weakness. The Longhorns have totaled 19 plays of 20+ yards on offense (126th).

LJ Blut's pick: Cam Coleman anytime TD (+120 via FanDuel)
Cam Coleman is my top touchdown candidate Saturday as Texas takes on Ole Miss in a massive SEC showdown. Coleman has found the end zone six times this season, showcasing his ability to make an impact in the passing game and capitalize on scoring opportunities. His combination of size, athleticism, and playmaking ability makes him a difficult matchup for opposing defensive backs.
Against Ole Miss, Coleman should have opportunities to exploit the secondary and give Texas a reliable option in the red zone. If the Longhorns can move the ball effectively through the air, Coleman has the talent to turn his targets into points. With six touchdowns already this season, he has proven he can deliver when his team needs a big play. Look for Coleman to remain involved offensively and find paydirt against the Rebels this weekend.

Brenden Schaeffer's pick: Under 53.5 (-115 via FanDuel)
This feels like a lofty number considering the struggles of the Texas offense combined with the recent improvements shown by the Ole Miss defense. Though Ole Miss has seen most of their games clear this total, in their last game, the Rebels held Missouri to 3 points, perhaps fixing their defense during the bye week.
Texas home games are 1-3 on Overs this season as Arch Manning’s struggles and the Longhorns’ second-ranked adjusted defensive efficiency in the nation (per FPI) combine for low-scoring environments.
