🆚 Who will win Ole Miss vs. Georgia?

Ole Miss has only played one road game this season, and the Rebels barely escaped with a seven-point win over 2-3 Kentucky. Georgia is 3-1 at home this season, and the Bulldogs have one of the best rushing attacks in the nation. That will be the difference, as Georgia goes up against a run defense allowing 4.8 yards per carry.

✅ Best Ole Miss vs. Georgia bet

🦈 Ole Miss +7 (-105) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Georgia’s defense is only allowing 19.0 points and 307.2 yards per game this season. However, Ole Miss has one of the most balanced offensive attacks in the nation, averaging 311.0 passing yards and 204.3 rushing yards per contest.

Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss has thrown for at least 250 yards in four consecutive games, and he’s rushed for at least 62 yards in three of his last four. Additionally, running back Kewan Lacy has rushed for at least 87 yards in four of six games.

Georgia’s offensive struggles allow Ole Miss to hang around

Georgia is averaging 32.3 points per game. However, the Bulldogs have scored 21 or fewer in two of their last three, and they only managed 28 against Austin Peay earlier this year.

Georgia’s rushing attack, which is averaging 185.5 yards per game, will run all over an Ole Miss run defense that allows 157.7 rushing yards per contest. However, Georgia won’t be able to pull away, as the passing attack struggles against a defense allowing just 180.0 air yards per game.

BetMGM’s price of -105 implies a 51.22% chance Ole Miss covers. A $10 bet would pay $9.52.

⬇️ Under 56.5 (-108) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Both offenses are averaging over 30 points per game but struggling entering this matchup. The Rebels have scored 24 in back-to-back weeks. Last week’s offensive performance came against a Washington State team allowing 28.0 points per game, which ranks 96th in the country. As already mentioned, Georgia has scored 21 or fewer in two of its last three games.

While both teams have been involved in shootouts this season, the defenses are still allowing fewer than 20 points per game. Georgia has allowed more than 24 only once all season, while Ole Miss has held five opponents to 23 or less.

Most wagers (63%) back the Under, and the total has dropped to 55.5 at some of the best sports betting sites. DraftKings is offering Under 56.5 for -108, implying a 51.92% chance it hits. A $10 bet would pay $9.26.
