Pick
Ole Miss was able to hang with Georgia for the first quarter and a half, but they couldn’t keep up with the Bulldogs after that. The Rebels have been very good this season against everyone not named Alabama and Georgia, and they should win this game easily. UL-Monroe is one of the worst teams in the country and they just allowed 45 points to Troy. Ole Miss could score 70 points on this team if they wanted to, but I am sure they will take it easy in the second half. Either way, I am taking Ole Miss to win this game by a lot of points.
