OU making a change at OC and I would assume QB might mean that they have a few wrinkles for Ole Miss' defense. I think OU's offensive issues are less about scheme and more about talent though. I don't see them having much success against Ole Miss as nobody has had a lot of success against them this year. Princely should be back for Ole Miss at DE.
As for OU's defense against Ole Miss' offense, Ole Miss has a chance to be healthy at OL for the first time this year. I haven't heard anything definitive on Tre Harris, but I expect him to play. I think OU will be able to significantly slow down the rushing attack - maybe less so if Kiffin will get his head out of his ass and play his best RB. OU's pass rush is comparable to South Carolina's and Ole Miss schemed protections well enough to pull away against them. LSU got after Dart, but I think that was a combination of poor scheme, environment, and game flow. I just don't see OU replicating LSU's performance at night in Death Valley while on the road in Oxford.
I have no interest in laying 21, but I think Ole Miss wins relatively comfortably.
Edited: I'm hearing rumors that Tre Harris is doubtful.

Thanks for the analysis. I think it is spot on. Let’s hope Bentley earned some touches with a good game against LSU. Should be great fall weather in Oxford on Saturday.

If you were thinking of a play on Alabama, and not sure why you would at this point, before you fire in, I am hearing that Milroe has a shoulder issue on his throwing arm. May not be enough to keep him from playing, but explains why he was so awful last Saturday and I'm not sure how effective he could be this week. Certainly Mizzou's defense is a different animal than Tenn or South Carolina (when the injury occurred), but if he's missing wide open WR by 10 yards again, it's going to be a struggle. Makes me think the under is in play

TNR is echoing the concern that Milroe is dinged up. McCarron has his own opinion.

Yeah we have a lot of former players chiming in with a "This isn't how we did it" commentary. Basically mimicking exactly what happened post-Bryant. Thankfully we have some adults in the room in the AD and De Boer is confident enough in himself to stay the course.

Not sure Mizzou was planning on running much with the secondary depth issues

What's the WR situation? Jackson Arnold could be Tom Brady, but if he has no one to throw it to It won't matter. Not sure Ole Miss is the team and offense "gets right" against either. But it is a lot of points

I was on AU last week ATS and ML, and it looked like it was going to cruise, but they fell apart again. Think they may want to rethink the 4 straight away games strategy moving forward. I'm not sure you can trust either team, but I think AU is better than Florida, and UK just let DJ Lagway set records for YPA so I want to bet AU, just not sure I trust them. But I know I don't trust Kentucky so I guess this is just a no bet. For now

Great stuff on Mizzou/Bama offensive injuries. Game total already down to 51 but 1H 27 looks very tempting.

OU is garbage all around and may have thrown in the towel. I said last week I couldn't back them under any circumstances and that's even more so now.

In transit, arriving late.
That is too many to be playing OTR for an SEC team, especially one with expectations.
How did that happen? By choice you say?

Yea the Ole Miss front scares me some but that’s alotta points for a name brand.
I don’t love it either, was trying to get talked into something here haha

Thinking about the under 49 here. Defenses are better than the offenses (esp with the injuries to OU WRs and Tre Harris), OU changing OC and QB (wondering how likely they are to push tempo here, thinking they don't). Only reason OU/S Carolina when over last week was OU gifting 3 TDs with turnovers.

I think it's because they insist on having UGA and Alabama both at home in the odd years. But maybe it's just a weird occurrence of trying to schedule 16 teams with 3 permanent opponents. Though it was only 3 straight, not 4 like I said earlier. They had a bye week in between there
