2016-17 Statistics (127 total teams):

Passing offense: Ole Miss 333.4 YPG > Arkansas 272.0 YPG

Rushing offense: Arkansas 176.3 YPG > Ole Miss 157.0 YPG

Scoring offense: Ole Miss 41.6 PPG > Arkansas 35.0 PPG

Scoring defense: Arkansas 27.5 PPG > Ole Miss 29.6 PPG

Passing defense: Arkansas 218.0 YPG > Ole Miss 234.0 YPG

Rushing defense: Arkansas 180.2 YPG > Ole Miss 215.4 YPG

Turnover Margin Per Game: Ole Miss -0.2 > Arkansas -0.4

Strength of schedule:

Arkansas is (4-2) with wins over Louisiana Tech, TCU, Texas State, and Alcorn State.  Their losses came against two ranked teams in Alabama and Texas A&M.  Ole Miss is (3-2) with wins over Wofford, Memphis, and Georgia.  Their two losses came against ranked opponents in Alabama and Florida State.

Summary:

Both teams have taken advantage of inferior opponents and were defeated in their big tests versus ranked opponents.  Ole Miss played a very competitive game against Alabama and nearly came out victorious.  Ole Miss has one of the best passing offenses in the nation which will surely test the Razorbacks secondary.  This game could be a high scoring shoot-out which would give the advantage to Ole Miss.  If the Rebels can stuff the run, then they could win big.  In the end I think this will be a back and forth game with Ole Miss winning at the end.
