Here are the Cup's game-by-game picks, as well as predictions for MVP and breakout players of the year.
The 2016 Rebels are a bit of an enigma. On the one hand, Ole Miss lost three of the most talented players in program history, is replacing both of its offensive tackles and has an alarmingly inexperienced secondary. On the other hand, the D-line is monstrous and the SEC’s best quarterback has a ridiculous number of skill position players to which he can distribute the ball.
Yet predictions among experts are relatively stable—most of what I’ve seen puts the Rebs at either 8-4 or 9-3, with a 10-2 infrequently stuck in as well.
