The Sporting News: Texas 31, Ole Miss 28
Bill Bender writes: "Will Texas lose three in a row? It's a back-against-the-wall
moment against Ole Miss, which is clicking with the healthy combination of Chambliss and Kewan Lacy. Chambliss has taken just five sacks this season. Can the Longhorns get that pressure to land? This is yet another prove-it moment for Manning against a ranked team."

Bill Speros writes: "Arch Manning looks more like 'Carl From Cintas' than the heir to a quarterback dynasty these days. In back-to-back losses to Oklahoma and Florida, Manning turned over the ball on his final snap as Texas possessed the chance to win or tie. Our model has Texas winning by 10.3 points. That’s a major value against the 3.5-point line. But Manning’s troubles and the criticisms of head coach Steve Sarkisian could spell trouble behind the scenes. Ole Miss has been red-hot since losing at Florida, ripping off dominant wins over Vanderbilt and Missouri. QB Trinidad Chambliss and RB Kewan Lacy have their groove back. Pete Golding’s defense will be dialed up to 11. Fight the bots and take the points."

Yahoo Sports: Bet Ole Miss with the points vs Texas
Matt Russell writes: "Ole Miss has regrouped in a big way after getting blown out by Florida, coming out of its bye with a re-commitment to defense, while also having arguably the best quarterback in the country. If it were so simple to get your act together after a loss, Texas would have done it against the short-handed Gators. Plus, the terrorizing pass-rush of Colin Simmons will likely be absent, as his high-ankle sprain should keep him out this week. Let's get the hook before that's confirmed."
