Trinidad Chambliss and No. 9 Ole Miss are headed for a wet, windy afternoon today in Nashville, where gusts above 30 mph could take some bite out of the Rebels' passing attack against Vanderbilt when these teams meet at 3:30 p.m. ET (ESPN) in FirstBank Stadium.
The latest Ole Miss vs. Vanderbilt weather forecast calls for rain and gusty winds through much of the game, putting the downfield passing games and kicking units to the test. That forecast also gives some weight to our expert's Under pick for this matchup.

How weather could impact Ole Miss vs Vanderbilt
Chambliss has thrown a touchdown pass in 17 straight games, but these gusts could make the deep ball harder to place. Shorter throws and a dependable ground game would help Ole Miss avoid asking its quarterback to beat both Vanderbilt's secondary and the wind on third-and-long.
Vanderbilt needs an offensive lift after scoring 15 points at Auburn and 14 at Georgia. The gusts could make it harder for Vanderbilt to generate big plays through the air against a top-10 team. Wind could also make settling for longer field goals less appealing for either team.
Ole Miss vs Vanderbilt odds & live win probability
Ole Miss is a 9.5-point favorite with a total of 55.5 and roughly a 77% win probability implied by the latest Kalshi market odds.
Nick Galaida backs Under 55.5 in his Ole Miss vs Vanderbilt prediction, as he expects difficult downfield passing conditions and the potential for more rushing attempts to keep the clock moving. That's where I'd lean, too, given the weather forecast for this matchup.
