Ole Miss vs. Florida Prediction

Ole Miss has had a dominant 2025 season and continues to show consistency on both sides of the ball. Quarterback Trinidad Chambliss ranks No. 4 in the PFSN QBi rankings, with 2,356 passing yards, 13 touchdowns, and six rushing touchdowns. The Rebels’ offense is future supported by running back Kewan Lacy, who is ranked No. 7 in PFSN RBi, and Dae’Quan Wright, who is ranked No. 4 in PFSN TEi.

Florida has strong individual talent, including Jadan Baugh, who is ranked No. 5 in PFSN RBi, and Jake Slaughter, who slots in at No. 2 on PFSN’s OL leaderboard. However, they have struggled to translate talent into wins. Quarterback DJ Langway has yet to find the consistency needed to lead the Gators’ offense efficiently.

With a home-field advantage and a more competitive roster, Ole Miss is expected to control this game. The Rebels’ offensive depth and leadership should help them secure another win and maintain their top-10 ranking.
