Ole Miss Football vs. Florida Gators Early Betting Lines Revealed for Week 12

Lane Kiffin and the Ole Miss Rebels will return to action on Saturday night for a Week 12 matchup against the Florida Gators at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.

In a matchup that's set to generate unprecedented buzz, Kiffin and Co. will look to keep the program's College Football Playoff hopes amid a 9-1 start to the 2025 season.

But the talk of the town will be the future of Kiffin with the Ole Miss Rebels looking to keep their decision-maker in Oxford while Florida targets him for the program's head coaching position.

“Well, it’s going to be The Lane Kiffin Show from here on in until a decision is made,” said ESPN insider Pete Thamel. “He’s a target at LSU. He’s a target at Florida. And, the competition between those two athletic departments for Lane Kiffin is going to be one of the things that hangs over the rest of this season.”

“A fascinating wrinkle to all this, of course, is that Ole Miss is headed to the playoff. They have a high percentage chance of going there, especially after beating Oklahoma on Saturday on the road like they did,” added Thamel.

“The regular season in college football ends in late November. The playoff starts on December 19th. It is going to be a high-wire act. It is possible, but, if you are a playoff coach and you are going to take a job? It is going to be a high-wire act to do that, especially if you win games in the playoff and it extends.

"How that unfolds will be a fascinating facet of this playoff, for coaches like Lane Kiffin, maybe Brent Key, maybe Jon Sumrall or Alex Golesh. The timing does not line up for an easy transition.”

Now, the early betting odds have been revealed for the "Lane Kiffin Bowl" with Ole Miss entering as double-digit favorites.

Ole Miss enters the matchup as 13.5-point favorites with Vegas favoring the Rebels in Week 12 against the Gators.

“I was really pleased with how the starters played today,” Kiffin said after the win on Saturday. “These games can be hard to get up for.

“Our guys came prepared. Thirty-five to five on first downs. They really answered the challenge of coming out with the same energy regardless of the time, crowd or network. I wish our backup offense would’ve played better, but the back-ups defensively played well. Overall we had a very good day."
