Quarterbacks Will Rogers and Jaxon Dart will lead their teams into a familiar battle on Thanksgiving night, as one of college football’s most storied rivalries between the Mississippi State Bulldogs (7-4, 3-4 SEC) and the Mississippi Rebels (8-3, 4-3 SEC) lives on.
The matchup will take place on Thanksgiving night as the 95th Battle for the Golden Egg will kick off from Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford, Mississippi, at 7 p.m. ET.
The Rebels (-2½) are currently slight favorites at BetUS Sportsbook in their matchup with the Bulldogs. The total is set at 59 points. The Rebels currently lead the SEC in rushing yards (3,061) and yards per game (278.27), ranking third nationally in rushing offense.
The Bulldog QB Will Rogers has thrown for 3,474 yards and 32 touchdowns this season, completing over 68 percent of his passes.
Ole Miss starting quarterback Jaxson Dart isn't a perfect successor to Matt Corral from last season but has led the Rebels to some key victories this season. the Rebel's starting quarterback has posted 2,363 yards this season with 16 touchdowns and eight interceptions. He has posted a 60.4% completion rate this season, which hardly compares to Rogers' 68.1% completion rate.
Football is a game where every man on the field has a job to do, each position having importance in the outcome of the game. But if the quarterback is off his game – or, better yet – if the quarterback is firing off passes like heat-seeking missiles – he will either lead his team to victory or to defeat.
“That’s what makes some of our alternative betting options – known as ‘prop’ bets, so popular. The most popular are probably the quarterback props,” says Barry Barger, senior betting analyst for BetUS.
BetUS customers are able to bet on the QB to record the most Egg Bowl passing yards (Will Rogers is currently a heavy favorite at –350, while Jaxson Dart is listed at +210 moneyline odds).
Bettors can also stake their bets on each quarterbacks’ first half total passing yards in the form of ‘over/under’ (O/U) wagers. For instance, bettors can choose between Will Rogers passing over or under 175 ½ yards in the first half (the ‘over’ option is currently favored at –130) or Jaxson Dart passing over or under 120 ½ yards in the first half (the ‘over’ option here is also currently favored at –130).
In their most recent outing, the Rebels were beaten by the Arkansas Razorbacks 42-27. The Bulldogs’ last game finished in a 56-7 win over the East Tennessee State Buccaneers.
Jaxson Dart had 240 yards on 21-of-36 passing (58.3%) for the Rebs in that matchup against the Razorbacks, with one touchdown and one interception. He also added 11 carries for 44 yards.
