Mississippi vs Georgia Prediction
The current betting odds have Ole Miss listed as a 6.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Ole Miss has looked great in their games this season with their 6-0 record overall and their 3-0 conference record which has them right near the top of the SEC. They are off a bad win over a bad Washington State team, barely winning 24-21, but they are currently ranked inside the top 5 and were likely looking ahead to this game. Meanwhile, Georgia has looked really good in their games this season with their 5-1 record overall and their 3-1 conference record which has them right near the top of the SEC. Their only loss this season was against Alabama 24-21 and they lost that game at home. They haven't looked great in their SEC games either, continuing a common theme each week of falling behind early and having to come back in the game. They are off a 20-10 road win over Auburn, but they looked terrible in that game against a bad Auburn team that can't move the ball on offense. Georgia has played in some really close games and they haven't really shown in any games this season why they should be a touchdown better than a really good Ole Miss team that is ranked and undefeated. Georgia's defense hasn't looked that good this season either and Ole Miss definitely have the offense to stay in this game. The best way to place a bet here is on Ole Miss to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes
“I just told our players that we did get to 1-0 today and that’s the most important thing, but that was about the only good thing. That performance was definitely not to our standard. We got up two scores and didn’t finish it.” - Lane Kiffin after his team’s win against WSU in their last game.
“A tale of two halves. Our kids never quit. I’m as proud of this team as I am of probably any team.” - Kirby Smart after his team’s win against Auburn in their last game.
