If BetOnline is correct, then Ole Miss is in for a big miss during the 2019 SEC football season.

The Rebels are projected to win just five games during the campaign, tied for last overall in the 2019 NCAAF win totals in the conference with Vanderbilt. But the sportsbook puts the under odds on Ole Miss at -115, short er than the Commodores at +120.

Perennial champion Alabama is favored to win a conference-best 11 games. The Crimson Tide have won four of the last five SEC titles.

Rebels Of A Lost Cause?
Ole Miss was 5-7 overall last season and a dismal 1-7 within the conference. Entering his third season, head coach Matt Luke handed the keys to his offense to Rich Rodriguez. As anyone at Michigan could tell you, expecting Rich-Rod to fix what ails you will only serve to make you long for the problems you used to think you had.

Rodriguez is installing the same run-based spread offense he operated while a head coach at West Virginia, Michigan and Arizona. Under center will be quarterback Matt Corral, a redshirt freshman.

Did we mention that all four Ole Miss scholarship QBs are freshmen? Or that all three 2018 starters at receiver, including the sensational DK Metcalf, graduated? Oh, and only two starters return along the offensive line.

Defensively, the Rebels are switching to a 3-4 after allowing 221.8 rushing yards per game in 2018.

Breaking down the schedule, pencil in road losses at Memphis, Alabama, Missouri, Auburn and in the Egg Bowl at Mississippi State. Home losses should be suffered at the hands of Texas A&M and LSU.

Of their five other games, expect home wins over Southeast Louisiana, Arkansas and New Mexico State. It really comes down to two other home dates with Vanderbilt and California, which can be classified as toss-ups.

Let’s call it a 50-50 split.

Pick: Ole Miss Rebels under 5 wins (-115)
