Ole Miss Rebels vs. Texas A&M Aggies Score Predictions
The Ole Miss Rebels have Quinshon Judkins to thank for many things last season, but also for helping lead them to victory against the Texas A&M Aggies.
By week 10, the quarterback situations in Oxford and College Station will all be ironed out, and head coaches Lane Kiffin and Jimbo Fisher will know what they have in Jaxson Dart and Conner Weigman, respectively, barring a different competition result in fall camp.
Here are The Grove Report staff's score predictions for when the Rebels welcome the Aggies to Vaught-Hemingway Stadium Nov. 4.

Ole Miss has not lost to Texas A&M since 2019, and its win streak will continue when the Aggies travel to Oxford in 2023. The Rebels and Aggies have created a small rivalry since Lane Kiffin arrived at Ole Miss, as he is often at odds with Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher on NIL recruiting.
This matchup could also prove to be pivotal depending on how the first eight games go for each program. This will be a close game, but in front of a home crowd, I expect Kiffin's Rebels to come away victorious over Fisher's Aggies.

This will be a fun battle between Ole Miss' offense and Texas A&M's defense. The Rebels' top-10 offense the past three seasons should be up there with the country's best, as the Aggies return six of their top-seven tacklers in 2023.
Two new coordinators could be the difference in swaying this game one way or another in Ole Miss defensive coordinator Pete Golding and Texas A&M offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino. Which one will have the edge?
The Aggies will be coming off of a three-game gauntlet against Alabama, Tennessee and South Carolina when they face the Rebels, who will have played Auburn and Vanderbilt the weeks prior. Give me Ole Miss.

Picture the moment when Lane Kiffin and Jimbo Fisher meet at the 50-yard line before kickoff. What jokes will the Rebels coach have for arch nemesis? How can Fisher deliver the blow back after taking the punches for years?
Just then, bam! Fisher throws a jab at Kiffin to the jaw. Kiffin retaliates with a beautifully formed tackle, knocking both to the ground and the referees begin to corral the two locked in a battle that can only end with one standing tall. The sidelines clear. A swarm of fisticuffs and elbow strikes are being hailed from the Rebels and Aggies, who now have forgotten a game is about to be played.
Who cares about the 60-minute skirmish for bragging rights in the SEC anymore? We're looking at the greatest clash of characters to grace television since Jon Snow defeated Ramsey Bolton in the Battle of the naughty words.
For the transfer portal! For NIL! For the right to say they're not Nick Saban's least-favorite assistant of all time!
Oh, you're asking about the score, not what I hope happens? I like my outcome better, but the Rebels settle for a game-winning field goal to remain alive in the division.

This game has become an important one for both teams in recent seasons thanks to the head coaches exchanging words on NIL practices. Texas A&M seems to be gaining some hype entering this season, but until I see results on the field, I’m not buying it. Give me Ole Miss.

These are two SEC teams on the rise - at least we think the Aggies are on the rise after last season - and a tough matchup for each other. By Week 10 we should know who the Aggies are and as long as there are no significant injuries to the quarterback and/or offensive line, A&M is a much more talented team. The question is, will the Rebels take advantage of home-field advantage? I think not.
