The Longhorns are favored by 3.5 points at home over the Rebels in one of the week's marquee matchups.
Texas welcomes Ole Miss to Austin for a Week 8 college football game that carries real weight in the SEC standings. Oddsmakers and at least one model have the Longhorns as 3.5-point favorites on their home field, setting up a test for a Rebels team looking to pull off a road upset.
The game is part of a loaded Week 8 slate that also includes Indiana hosting Michigan and Houston facing Utah. It comes on the heels of an upset-heavy Week 7, which has left handicappers and fans alike bracing for more unpredictability this time around.
For Texas, the matchup is another chance to prove itself against quality conference competition as the season moves into its second half. Ole Miss, meanwhile, will try to use the spread as motivation, with the three-and-a-half-point line suggesting oddsmakers see this one as competitive rather than a blowout.
Kickoff details and broadcast information are being finalized as part of the week's coverage, with live updates expected throughout the game.
