The TaxSlayer Gator Bowl pits Duke (9-3) against Ole Miss (9-3) in a battle of two underdog teams looking to make a statement. Here’s what you need to know about the game:
Ole Miss is favored by 17.5 points, according to BetMGM odds, but experts are divided on who will come out on top. USA TODAY and Bleacher Nation have picked Ole Miss as their winner, while ESPN has predicted a closer game with Duke emerging victorious.
Transfer quarterback Maalik Murphy has led the Blue Devils’ success this season, completing 60.3% of his passes for 2,933 yards and 26 touchdowns. However, senior quarterback Jaxson Dart’s impressive stats, including a completion rate of 68.6%, make him a force to be reckoned with.
