The Rebels have ripped off two straight impressive wins against Vanderbilt and Missouri. Meanwhile, the Longhorns have lost two straight games to Oklahoma and Florida after being ranked as the No. 1 team in the nation.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"ay\">If you want a few bets for this SEC game, you&#8217;re in the right place. Let&#8217;s dive into a few of my favorites.<\/p>\n<p>Ole Miss vs. Texas Best Bets<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"b8\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/4hmNc2h\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Odds via BetMGM Sportsbook<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Texas -3 (-115) vs. Ole MissRyan Wingo Anytime Touchdown (+140)Trinidad Chambliss 250+ Passing Yards (-110)Texas -3 (-115) vs. Ole Miss<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"bn\">In my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/betting\/college-football-week-8-best-bets-believe-in-the-longhorns-01m5gcs094p6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Week 8 best bets article<\/a>, I broke down why I&#8217;m laying the points with the Longhorns:<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"bs\">This is a fascinating game between good vs. good and bad vs. bad. What I mean by that is that the Ole Miss offense is clearly its strength, ranking as one of the better units in college football, while its defense is a significant weakness. The opposite is true for Texas, which thrives defensively but struggles to move the ball down the field.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"bx\">That&#8217;s why I&#8217;m going to take a step back, look at overall numbers, and buy low on the Longhorns. Despite losing two straight games, the Longhorns still rank ninth in net adjusted EPA per play and 26th in net success rate.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"c2\">I&#8217;m a big believer in treating betting on football like the stock market, and based on last week&#8217;s results, this is a great sell-high spot on the Rebels and a buy-low spot on the Longhorns. With Texas at home, I&#8217;ll put my faith in the Longhorns.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan Wingo Anytime Touchdown (+140)<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"cc\">Ryan Wingo has longer odds than Cam Coleman to score on Saturday, +140 odds for Wingo and +115 odds for Coleman, but it&#8217;s Wingo who leads the team in both receptions (26) and receiving yards (345). He now gets to face an Ole Miss defense that ranks 88th in the country in opponent EPA per pass. He&#8217;s going to get plenty of chances to find the end zone.<\/p>\n<p>Trinidad Chambliss 250+ Passing Yards (-110)<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-14\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"cm\">The Longhorns&#8217; ability to stop the run is one of their biggest strengths, which means Ole Miss would be smart to take to the air to try to keep pace with the Longhorns&#8217; offense. Texas ranks 21st in opponent EPA per pass and 25th in opponent pass success rate. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-15\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"cr\">Chambliss has played his best in the Rebels&#8217; biggest games, racking up 298+ yards in three of his four games against ranked opponents. He should have no issue reaching 250 yards on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-17\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"d0\">Follow Iain on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/IainMacBets\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">X<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/iainmacbets\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-18\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"d5\">You can check out all of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/dwR62dGTF1\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Iain&#8217;s bets here!<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-19\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"da\">Use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/betting\/sportsbook-promos\/betmgm-bonus-code\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">BetMGM promo code<\/a> \u2018SI1550\u2019 to get up to<a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/4hmNc2h\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> $1,500 back in bonus bets <\/a>when you register and place your first wager with BetMGM Sportsbook.
