🏈 Ole Miss vs. Georgia predictions & odds (Jan. 1 @ 8 p.m. ET)

The only CFP matchup to feature a rematch from the regular season, this year's Sugar Bowl should be worth the price of admission if it resembles that 43-35 win for Georgia on Oct. 18. That came with Lane Kiffin still coaching Ole Miss, though the most polarizing coach in college football has since taken his talents to Baton Rouge - leaving the Rebels under the command of defensive coordinator Pete Golding, who led the team to a workmanlike 41-10 win in the first round over Tulane to set up this rematch.

Early Ole Miss vs. Georgia prediction

🐶 Georgia -6.5 (-107)

I would love to project some optimism for Ole Miss fans, who have been through enough over the last few weeks, but this is a pretty rough matchup for the Rebels against a familiar opponent that always seems to level up for the postseason. Georgia took over that first game down the stretch to win by eight, and it demolished Alabama in the SEC title game. I'm expecting this one to be decided before the final drive.
