Louisville travels to face Ole Miss in what looks like a neutral-site opener at Nissan Stadium on September 6th, with the Rebels installed as 6.5-point favorites. The moneyline sits at -262 Ole Miss and +212 Louisville, reflecting a clear gap in how oddsmakers view these programs heading into the season. Both teams enter at 0-0, so there's no recent performance data to lean on — just projection and roster evaluation driving the number.
