Georgia -6 (-115) βββ
When these two teams played in October, Georgia won by eight. Since then, Lane Kiffin has left Ole Miss for LSU, and the Bulldogs' defense has returned to the dominance we've gotten used to under Kirby Smart, allowing 8.6 PPG against ranked opponents.
Georgia is ranked No. 5 on defense by SP+ and shut down Alabama in the SEC Championship. Meanwhile, the engine of Ole Miss' offense, Kewan Lacy, is banged up.
Gunner Stockton and Co. should be able to do damage to a Rebels' defense that gave up 421 yards to Tulane in the first round.
Our Ole Miss vs. Georgia same-game parlay is also locking in on the Bulldogs covering.
Score prediction: Georgia 27, Ole Miss 20

Zachariah Branch, WR, Georgia: Anytime TD (+130) βββ
Georgia doesn't lean heavily on just one star to carry the offensive load, with seven different players scoring at least four touchdowns this season, and Stockton leading the way with just eight.
Rather than backing Stockton or Nate Frazier at minus-money, I like taking a slightly bigger swing with a bigger payout, especially because Zachariah Branch is the Bulldogs' most dynamic playmaker.
The USC transfer leads the team in all-purpose yards (1,113) and is one of the best receivers in the country after the catch, ranking fourth nationally in YAC (586).
Branch has five touchdowns this season for Georgia and has scored in back-to-back games. He's also a threat to score on special teams, with two career return TDs.
He's also featured in Mike Spector's Ole Miss vs. Georgia player prop bets and Phil Wood's Ole Miss vs. Georgia anytime TD scorer predictions.
