Louisville vs. Ole Miss – Prediction, Preview Monday Sept 6th

It’s a Labor Day Showdown between The Cardinals and The Rebels at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, in Atlanta, Georgia.

The Rebels will take to the field on Monday night without their second-year coach Lane Kiffin who tested positive for COVID-19 on Saturday.

Ole Miss returns nine starters from a defense that was non existant last year to say the least.

The Rebels’ SEC-worst defense was plagued primarily by an inadequate pass rush (16 sacks).
In 2021 the Rebela roster transformed, with the additions of 12 freshmen and junior college transfers as well as senior safety Jake Springer, senior linebacker Chance Campbell and junior cornerback Deantre Prince.

Louisville vs. Ole Miss spread: Ole Miss -10

Louisville vs. Ole Miss over-under: 76 points

This will be the first-ever meeting between these two schools. Ole Miss is coming off a 5-5 season in coach Kiffin’s first season as head coach in 2020. Louisville is coming off of very a disappointing 4-7 campaign that was filled inconsistancy it made it hard to watch these kids for a full game.

Since this is the first meeting between these teams,trends on head to head play will simply not exist.

The Cardinals return seven starters from a defense that was fourth in the ACC in yards allowed last season, a jump of eight spots from 2019.

We believe the hype on this game doesnt marit The Rebels as a (-10) chalk. The Rebels defense struggled at times last season and Louisville has some weapons on offense and should be able to keep the Rebels close on the scoreboard.
