ESPN’s SP+ has revealed its prediction for the final score of Ole Miss‘s home SEC showdown against Arkansas on Saturday night.
The primetime matchup between a pair of 2-0 teams will kick off at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN, with the 17th-ranked Rebels trying to improve to 2-0 in SEC play. Meanwhile, Arkansas will be playing its conference opener in a hostile environment.
ESPN’s SP+ selections for Week 3’s matchups were released on Sunday night, and that model is projecting Ole Miss to take care of business at home by a score of 32-22.
Here is the Arkansas-Ole Miss prediction along with the rest of the Week 3 slate:
Ole Miss began the 2025 season by pounding Georgia State, 63-7, in Oxford. Then Lane Kiffin‘s team avenged last season’s loss to Kentucky by going to Lexington and outlasting the Wildcats, 30-23, in Week 2.
Meanwhile, Sam Pittman‘s Arkansas team has had an easy time of it so far this season. The Razorbacks earned lopsided home victories over Alabama A&M and Arkansas State in Weeks 1 and 2, respectively, with the Hogs putting up a combined 108 points in the 2 wins.
Arkansas and Ole Miss have been going at it for a long time, with the Razorbacks leading the all-time series, 37-31-1. The Rebels have won the past 2 meetings, however, and will look to extend that to 3 in front of their home fans on Saturday night.
