The No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs travel to Oxford to face the No. 10 Ole Miss Rebels on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET in a pivotal SEC showdown with College Football Playoff implications. Georgia enters at 7-1 with its lone loss to Auburn, while Ole Miss sits at 6-2 after defeats to Florida and Texas but remains in control of its CFP destiny.
Betting Odds and Model Projections
Georgia is a 3.5-point road favorite with an over/under of 56.5 points. The SportsLine Projection Model, after 10,000 simulations, projects the Under to hit 56% of the time, forecasting a combined 54 points. The model also indicates one side of the spread covers in well over 50% of simulations.
Key Factors
Ole Miss running back Kewan Lacy has been ruled out. Georgia defensive coordinator Glenn Schumann's unit, ranked among the SEC's best, has extended film on Rebels quarterback Trinidad Chambliss from last season's two meetings. Both teams have trended toward the Over this season, but the model expects a tighter, more defensive second half.
