Top Thanksgiving Day 2021 football predictions
One key piece to the 2021 Thanksgiving Day football parlay: The model is backing Ole Miss to cover the spread in Starkville. The road team is 5-1 against the spread in the last six meetings. The Rebels rank fifth in the nation in total offense (517.4 yards per game) and are eighth in rushing (231.1). Four players have rushed for more than 500 yards, including quarterback Matt Corral, who also has passed for 3,100 yards and accounted for 29 TDs. He also has been intercepted just three times, while the Rebels’ defense has 20 takeaways and 37 sacks.
Mississippi won 31-24 in Oxford last season and leads 63-45-6 in the series, which has been played since 1901. Running back Jerrion Ealy (643 yards, five TDS) brings the speed, Snoop Conner (561, 11 TDs) has the power, and Henry Parrish (537) fills whatever role that is required. The Bulldogs’ defense is strong against the run (seventh in FBS), but it hasn’t faced a quartet like this.
