Two undefeated SEC teams meet in Oxford this weekend as the #7 Kentucky Wildcats take on the #14 Ole Miss Rebels. Kentucky, led by Will Levis, looks to move to 5-0 for the first time under Mark Stoops. Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss look to upset Kentucky and push towards a potential SEC championship birth. Below are the Mike Farrell Sports staff picks for this week-five matchup.
Mike Farrell- Kentucky
Kentucky plays more physical football and wins the game in a slugfest many don’t expect.
Cory Lemer- Kentucky
The Wildcat’s defense will win the game in an offensive showcase.
Matt Perkins- Kentucky
I will take Kentucky. The Wildcats have more playmakers on defense.
Timothy Bailey- Ole Miss
I’m giving the home team the edge. Kentucky doesn’t fare well on the road against SEC West opponents.
Unnamed source- Kentucky
Lane Kiffin is my second-favorite coach in college football. While I would love to pick Ole Miss, I think Kentucky is the more complete team. I like the Wildcats to get the win here, 35-27.
Luke Brumm- Kentucky
Kentucky pulls off the road win in Oxford.

Kyle Golik- Ole Miss
Something tells me the Lane Train will toss a giant monkey wrench in the Wildcat’s NY6 bid.
James DeCarlo- Kentucky
I like the Wildcats to come out on top in an offensive shootout in Oxford. Ole Miss is sold out for the first time this year, but this Kentucky team is legit.
Paul Wangsmo- Ole Miss
Ole Miss will win, thanks to the Oxford home crowd.
Noah Dzik- Ole Miss
Ole Miss will beat Kentucky in a four-quarter offensive shootout.
Shayne Pickering- Kentucky
Kentucky isn’t a mid-major team Ole Miss can beat regardless of their performance.
Alex Bryan- Ole Miss
Kentucky is due for an upset. Give me Ole Miss 24-21.
Hunter DeNote- Ole Miss
Ole Miss is undefeated in their last 12 home games. Ole Miss will upset Kentucky.
