Rebels Look for Explosive Offensive Plan

Ole Miss is riding a historic season so far with a 12-1 record and the 6th seed in the nation. They beat Tulane in the first round of the CFP while also achieving their first ever 11-win season in program history. This will be their 11th Sugar Bowl appearance, so they are basically veterans in this setting.

The Rebels have been in the news during the last month, as their current coach surprisingly signed a contract with LSU and quit the team mid-season. Many thought Ole Miss might crumble without their leader, however, they have shown to maintain their composure and continue their winning ways.

SEC Champions With a Lot to Prove

Georgia comes in at 12-1 for the season so far, while also becoming SEC champions along the way with a win over Alabama. The Bulldogs are wired in through their well-balanced offensive side, as well as a disciplined defensive squad.

This rivalry goes back to the 1940s, so there is definitely a rivalry brewing here, despite Georgia having much more success in recent years. Gunner Stockton will be leading the team with 23 TDs thrown through 251 completed passes. Also, Nate Frazier will lead the way through the ground and try to add to his 6 TDs tally this campaign.

#6 Ole Miss vs #3 Georgia NCAA Pick

This game will be a hard-fought game for both sides, however, Georgia might have an edge thanks to their experience. The Bulldogs are favorites at -6.5, with an over/under of 55.5. The Moneyline is -260 for Georgia and +210 for Ole Miss.

We believe the game will tip towards the Bulldogs' way thanks to their past experience in these situations. Our pick is for the Georgia Bulldogs at -6.5.
