How to Watch: Duke vs Ole Miss in Gator Bowl
Rebels will wrap up its season earlier than it had hoped for back in August when against Duke in Jacksonville
Ole Miss fans will have just one last chance to see its Rebel football team in action until next season when Ole Miss faces Duke in the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl on Thursday.
It’ll be the last chance to see the program’s all-time leader in passing yards (Jaxson Dart) in Ole Miss colors. It’ll be the last chance to see one of nation’s best players at defensive tackle (Walter Nolen) and many, many others.

The season isn’t ending where Ole Miss and its fans had hoped, but the 2024 season will still go down as one of school’s best years and one of its most talented teams ever. The Rebels are favorites in Thursday’s game against the Blue Devils, who are without their starting quarterback Maalik Murphy who left via the transfer portal. ESPN’s matchup predictor gives Ole Miss an 83.6 percent chance of winning and FanDuel’s Sportsbook has the Rebels as 17.5-point favorites.
So, Thursday night in Jacksonville, Fla. could be a fun night for Ole Miss and its fans.
