What is the Betting Line on the Ole Miss vs. South Carolina Game - October 5?

The line on the Ole Miss vs. South Carolina game have moved from Rebels -8.5 to -9.5.  Despite an upset loss last week, the Sagarin Ratings still have Mississippi rated at No. 6.  South Carolina was coming in at No. 28. 

The number we get from Sagarin is Ole Miss -6.5.  That suggests a pretty hefty overlay, especially at the 9.5.  Our model does not give an edge to either side here.

Kentucky upset No. 6 Mississippi 20-17 on Saturday, when Rebels kicker Caden Davis hooked a 48-yard field-goal attempt way wide with 48 seconds left in the fourth quarter to give the Wildcats their highest-ranked win of Wildcats head coach Mark Stoops' 12-year career.

"It was our kind of game. A dirty, ugly, hard-fought game,” Stoops said. “We went out and did what we had to do. We played our way. I know it’s only one game, but it was a very important game for us. Obviously, I could not be more proud of this team.”

South Carolina's only loss was to LSU in Week 3 by a mere three points.

Backup Robby Ashford, starting when LaNorris Sellers injured his right ankle in that loss to LSU, threw for two touchdowns and ran for a third as South Carolina topped Akron 50-7 on Saturday night.

The Gamecocks opened 3-1 for the first time since 2017 as they bounced back from squandering a 17-0 lead over No. 16 LSU last week to lose 36-33 in the final two minutes.

“Obviously, this was a tough week, coming off last week,” South Carolina coach Shane Beamer said. “We certainly had a bitter disappointment last week, but our guys responded the right way.”
