According to ESPN and The Athletics sites, Ole Miss is a 76% favorite to win to only 24% for Louisville, plus they will be scoring a combined 76 points, so expect a wide open game.

Louisville's defensive coordinator, Bryan Brown, stated that they have been preparing to improve defensively and to start the season against Ole Miss they will be able to see how much they have been able to straighten things out:

"It's been great. Fall camp was really good for us, with our defense improving a lot from where we were in the spring, as well as last fall. Now, targeting an opponent that is really good on offense. They have one of the best quarterbacks we'll face all season in Matt Corral.

We're trying to simulate that tempo, and I don't think we can simulate how fast those guys go, because they go really, really fast. We're just trying to condition our guys to get them ready for the next play right away. Not celebrating, trying to make sure they get the call, get lined up and just get ready to play. Because when Ole Miss gets you in trouble, that's when you're not ready to play," the coordinator said.

Ole Miss also didn't have a standout tournament in 2020 with just a five-win, five-loss record, but being in such a competitive conference allowed them to qualify for the Outback Bowl where they defeated Indiana University 26-21.

Last season, not counting the fact that fewer games were played than budgeted, Louisville had a campaign to forget with a 4-7 record that did little good because they were unable to reach the necessary places to qualify for a bowl.

The NCAA will now have a full season and the game to close the first week will be the game between Louisville and Ole Miss, teams that finished among the top five in the nation and are looking to be in the main bowls at the end of the year.

The Louisville Cardinals vs Ole Miss Rebels match will be played at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, in Atlanta, United States. The kick-off is scheduled at 8 pm ET.
