Georgia Southern vs. Ole Miss Prediction

I’m on Ole Miss here. It’s a massive number and Georgia Southern’s looked decent in recent games defensively, but they’re up against a whole different class of offense here with Ole Miss. The Rebels are doing everything right at the moment, and Jaxson Dart is in Heisman form already this season. I flash back to week 1 for the Eagles where they allowed 56 points against Boise State and this Ole Miss offense is worlds ahead of the Broncos. I think this one could get ugly. Give me Ole Miss here.
