Ole Miss vs Georgia Prediction


In this Ole Miss vs Georgia Prediction, Georgia is coming as -5.5 favorites. Georgia has been the better team this season and superior against the spread, with a 16-15 ATS record compared to Ole Miss’ 11-20. They have also been in far better form lately, with a 5-1 record in their last 6 games, while on the other hand, Ole Miss is 2-8 in their last 10 games, but won their regular season meeting against Georgia. I just cannot back Ole Miss in their recent form, even though they won Texas last night. I expect Georgia to step up and win and cover this short number today.
