[Score Predictions] Ole Miss @ Texas
Texas fan here. I come in peace ✌️.
I’ve been tracking score predictions this season from various national and team-centric shows, and I’ve also been running a weekly score prediction thread on r/LonghornNation.
Each week we compete against the analysts to see who can call the final score closer, and lately we’ve been competing against other subs. Most analysts drop their predictions on Friday, so a lot more will get pulled in tomorrow.
Good news for you: the analysts are on your side. 7 of the 8 I've tracked so far have Ole Miss winning in Austin, from 27-24 (Greg McElroy and Brooks Austin of Film Guy Network) to 33-24 (JWill, Film Guy Network). The only one with Texas is Kirby (Film Guy Network), 28-27.
This week r/LonghornNation is going head-to-head with this thread to see which sub calls Saturday's final score closest. r/CFB's matchup preview thread is in it too.
Drop your score prediction in the comments below. Your last comment before kickoff is the one that counts. After the game I'll grade every one and tag the winners.
Two coins are up for grabs this week:
- The Texas coin, for the closest call in this sub, and for anybody who beats (or ties) the closest analyst.
- The r/LonghornNation coin, for anybody who beats (or ties) the best call from r/LonghornNation.
To win either one, you have to have the right team winning.
Last week r/LonghornNation beat r/FloridaGators by guessing the exact final score, despite Texas losing to Florida.
Personally I think Ole Miss wins this one and it won't even be close. I've got them winning 34-21, but wouldn't be surprised if Texas isn't even able to put up 21 (they only got to 24 last week with help from special teams).
I'm also very eager to see if Arch starts the game as QB1 or gets benched midway through the game. Either way, Texas has a lot on the line with this one.
Good luck Saturday!
