Specifically a father-in-law? That's why I hate the game is played on Thanksgiving Day, especially if we lose. I just try to keep my mouth closed over the years.
Any advice on dealing with OM relatives during the game?

I’ve never been able to watch the Egg Bowl with OM relatives. It gets me too much on edge. I would say something I would regret.
The less you run your mouth, the less you have to take back.
Wear hidden ear buds. Head nods and smiles. Lace their drinks with zzzquil
Yes, smile and nod. Nod and smile. If it’s a L, oh well. If it’s a W, it was a good game. Take your prize or condolences later that night when you go to bed. 
Every time an OM player touches the ball. Say I bet he transfers to Auburn with Kiffin
Look him straight in the eyes and remind him that you are 17ing his daughter.
I’m doing it for the first time this year. It’s my sister in law and shes the type that won’t watch most games but then when she does she “loves her Rebs” and loves to talk smack and cheers loud. My wife’s family is thinking of giving me my own personal set up so I can watch it by myself and they can all watch it in another room. My wife is not happy about it because she says I have a problem that they are having to cater to me but this is probably the best for all parties
Phrase it like this: "If you think that turkey was stuffed, you shoulda seen what I did to your daughter last night."
Ask him if his wife screams during sex like his daughter or did she get that from him.
my wife is a reb. mother-in-law and brother-in-law too. i ignore them during the game. unless we're beating that a$$. My family on my side is all maroon. Dad, Mom, myself, brother, sister-in-law (teaches at State) all graduated from State.
My inlaws love their team and recognize that I love mine, and we are both capable of being happy that the other's team did something good while not necessarily being happy that the rival school did the same.
That's the trick.
But, in your situation I would just find somewhere else to watch the game.
Just give them the silent treatment. If State somehow wins just continue the silent treatment and maybe if they’re smart enough they will just leave you alone about it next time
In the sink like God decreed inlaws should do.
Nope. You are a person just like them and deserve to be happy.
My wife (OM grad) bought us 7 tickets together in OM section. I told her I wasn't sitting in the OM section. I'm finding empties in the State section to sit.
I won't yield from that either. Especially after I just listened to them whine and cry the full Arkansas game about officials.
Tell them you hope Kiffen stays at Ole Miss because he's a perfect fit there: he's morally bankrupt and got where he is because of Diddy.
You jump up and clap when MSU does well. They jump up and clap when OM does well. You cuss when MSU does bad. They cuss when OM does bad. You both complain about the refs and announcers.
You have two choices. You can embrace this as just a football game and take the good with the bad, laugh off any ribbing/smack talk, be magnanimous win or lose and watch the game with your family. Or you treat it like life and death are on the line and watch it by yourself or with just state fans.
Be the alpha (if FIL is loaded, you may want to reconsider), never in my life has a UM fan said anything derogatory about MSU to me. Too many of our fans are betas and take it. Always be condescending, "you got a nice little program over there," "you try so hard," "that powder blue is so manly," if it gets heated, end it with, "you don't want any of this smoke, old man." Again, if FIL is loaded, give that weight in the decision. Unfortunately (or fortunately?), I've never had to worry about inheriting anything from mine or the old lady's family.
Prison yard rules...
find the biggest one and 17 them up in front of the rest of them, do the Metcalf/Moore hind-leg over them, then casually walk over to your spot on the couch and enjoy your Thanksgiving.
alternatively, there’s always the Gravy song by John Zacherle.

Beat his *** with a cowbell?
Choke him on dry Turkey?
Drown him in gravy?
Nut allergy? Give him some of Deez nuts!

Offer to let him wash his hair in your kitchen sink during the game?
Tell him you didn't watch the game because his daughter wouldn't let you out of bed.
Just check out once the game is over. Meet any EB engagement with a light chuckle and a lip roll
Gentlemen, I'm not sure the "Prayers for Cooterpoot" movement has worked.
Then again, maybe it has.
