Ole Miss’ Kelly Proves Chip Off the Old Block
By Charles Jay
The Florida Gators are sky-high after scoring a huge comeback victory over the Tennessee Volunteers last weekend. But they have to reach the proper emotional level once again as they have one of the top teams in the country visiting. The Ole Miss Rebels are putting their lofty national ranking on the line as they visit Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville for an SEC showdown at 3:30 PM ET. And after that opening whistle, the Vietbet audience can partake in Live Betting Extra, which enables them to place wagers on the side, total and various props as they action is happening.
Ole Miss vs Florida – Vietbet Betting Line
In the football odds that have been posted on this game by the people at Vietbet, the Rebels are favored by slightly more than a touchdown:
- Ole Miss Rebels -7.5 (+100)
- Florida Gators +7.5 (-120)
- Over 51 points -110
- Under 51 points -110
Florida came back from thirteen points down to defeat Tennessee 28-27, and that was their eleventh straight win over the Volunteers. They had, the week before, won their 29th consecutive game against Kentucky. The victory brought UF to 4-0 and vaulted them into the #23 spot in the Coaches poll, as well as #25 with the Associated Press.
As impressive as the Gators have been, Mississippi’s resume is even better. The rebels went to Tuscaloosa and registered a win over Alabama, in a thriller where they had to beat back a couple of furious Crimson Tide comebacks. What has been most beneficial has been the poise of quarterback Chad Kelly, who really handled himself well against ‘Bama.

Kelly is the nephew of Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly, who went to four Super Bowls as a member of the Buffalo Bills. he has had a strange career, having first been tossed off the team at Clemson due to bad behavior, followed by a stint in junior college, where he threw for 47 TD’s last season and won a national title. That got him the scholarship at Ole Miss, although since life can’t be smooth for him, he found himself in another off-campus incident and arrest. The bottom line, as it applies to this game, is that he moves the chains, and he gets the very firm seal of approval from his uncle.
He will be throwing into a secondary that, with apologies to Alabama, might be the toughest he will face in the regular season. Florida’s defensive backfield is anchored by All-American Vernon Hargreaves, and they limited Tennessee’s Joshua Dobbs to just 19 attempts last week.
Vietbet patrons are going to keep a close eye on the status of Jalen Tabor, another member of that secondary who was suspended last week, along with backup quarterback Treon Harris, for reportedly refusing to take a drug test. Tabor aggravated his situation with some immaturity, as he posted an ill-advised Tweet in which he expressed regret at attending Florida instead of Maryland. By all accounts, his suspension was for one game only.

And speaking of Harris, he has now missed two straight games, but head coach Jim McElwain says that he may play some on Saturday to provide a change of pace for redshirt frosh Will Grier, who has, for all intents and purposes, nailed down the #1 QB job.
