Why Mississippi State can cover

The Bulldogs rank 22nd in the nation in total offense (452.3 yards) and are tied for second in passing (390.2) thanks to the stellar play of Will Rogers. The sophomore quarterback is second in the country with 4,113 passing yards after amassing 391 in Mississippi State’s 55-10 rout of Tennessee State on Saturday. Rogers also threw five touchdown passes, marking the third straight contest in which he recorded at least four.

Senior wideout Austin Williams benefited most from Rogers’ scoring barrage, hauling in three of the TD passes after catching just one over his first 10 games of the season. Makai Polk posted his second 100-yard performance in three contests as he had nine receptions for 119 yards and a touchdown. The junior, who has caught three TD passes in his last two outings, leads Mississippi State with 88 receptions, 891 yards and nine touchdown catches.

Why Ole Miss can cover

The Rebels are 63-46-6 all-time against their in-state rivals and 57-29-5 since the Egg Bowl originated in 1927. They enter this matchup with a three-game winning streak and victories in six of their last seven contests after defeating Vanderbilt 31-17 on Saturday. Ole Miss has the fifth-best offense in the nation (517.5 yards) and is seventh in rushing (231.1) while its passing attack ranks 20th (286.4).

The leader of the aerial attack is Matt Corral, who has thrown for 3,100 yards with 19 touchdowns and only three interceptions. The junior, who is expected to enter the 2022 NFL Draft, has eclipsed the 300-yard mark in two of his last three outings as he passed for 326 and two scores against the Commodores. Corral also has been dangerous with his legs as he is second on the team with 10 rushing TDs and third with 552 yards on the ground.
