Ole Miss vs. Vanderbilt prediction & best bet

Check out all of our college football predictions for more analysis across this week's slate.

Over 55.5 (-105 via DraftKings)

Chambliss is among the highest-paid quarterbacks in the current NIL landscape and it's justified based on his play. The Ole Miss signal-caller has thrown for over a 70 percent completion rate and 1,200 yards in just 4 starts.

Now, the Rebels take on a Vanderbilt defense that has allowed 7 passing touchdowns in its previous 3 combined outings, including 280+ passing yards to NC State and Georgia. The Commodores also struggle to stop the run, giving up 4.0 YPC or more during this recent 3-game stretch. 

Ole Miss certainly doesn't have a stout defense, which is why we could see Vanderbilt cover +9.5, as they are undefeated at home. The Rebels have allowed over 30 points per game, ranked 117th amongst 136 FBS teams in 2026.

Since opening, the total points line has moved from 57.5 to 55.5. There's value in taking Over 55.5 right now, so let's go to DraftKings for the best price and bet Over 55.5 at -105 odds. 

📡 SBR Edge: Run, Rebel, Run

Ole Miss has allowed 4.0 YPC or more in every game played this season. 

Ole Miss and Chambliss Avoid a Scare During High-Scoring Shootout in Nashville

It's going to be another back-and-forth game involving Ole Miss. Vanderbilt's offense will finally be able to stay ahead of schedule after facing two tough defenses like Auburn and Georgia. The Commodores have recorded 28+ points at home in every game played this year. 

Chambliss is the best player on the field in this matchup. However, the porous Rebels defense will allow Vanderbilt to hang around, leaning on their rushing attack and avoiding miscues on offense to keep pace with Ole Miss. 

Score prediction: Ole Miss 41, Vanderbilt 34
