SBR's Mike Spector breaks down the action in his early Ole Miss vs Georgia prediction:

Ole Miss +6.5 (-105 FanDuel)

"This is a common matchup. It's a team that went through the motions in beating an inferior opponent last week, facing a team off an impressive road win in which it covered the spread. In these situations, I typically prefer to take advantage of what an overreaction from the oddsmakers is and back the least impressive team from the week prior.

I'm not faulting Ole Miss for sleepwalking through its win over Washington State, an unfamiliar opponent it faced for the first time in school history. After all, the Rebels still faced a Cougars team coached by Jimmy Rogers, who entered the non-conference matchup with a .857 career winning percentage from his time at South Dakota State.

Georgia did what it was supposed to do in beating Auburn on the road. Its ninth straight win over its rival is now tied for the longest winning streak by either team in the series' history. But the Bulldogs were also fortunate to force a goal-line turnover that changed the game. Georgia did not pull away for a dominating victory despite shutting out Auburn and holding the Tigers to 40 yards of offense in the second half."
