Georgia Bulldogs quarterback Gunner Stockton (14) dives for the end zone and scores during the fourth quarter against the Auburn Tigers at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Alabama.

The No. 5 Ole Miss Rebels (6-0, 3-0 SEC) face the No. 7 Georgia Bulldogs (5-1, 3-1) in a top-10 clash Saturday. Kickoff from Sanford Stadium in Athens, Georgia, is set for 3:30 p.m. ET (ABC). Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's NCAA football odds around the Ole Miss vs. Georgia odds and make our expert college football picks and predictions for the best bets.

Ole Miss narrowly escaped with a 24-21 win over the Washington State Cougars Oct. 11, failing to cover as a 33-point favorite with the Under (59) hitting. The Rebels played a sloppy game, losing the turnover battle and committing 8 penalties for 99 yards. However, Ole Miss’ defense held strong to pull out the win. The Rebels offense, which averages 515.3 total yards per game and 37.8 points, has been held well below those marks in each of its last 2 games.

Georgia picked up a 20-10 win against the Auburn Tigers Oct. 11, covering as a 4.5-point favorite with the Under (46.5) hitting. The Bulldogs offense produced just 79 rushing yards, averaging 2.5 yards per carry. Georgia has held opponents to 14 or fewer points in 3 of its last 5 games.

The Bulldogs lead the all-time series 33-13-1 and are 11-1-1 in the last 13 matchups, but they lost 28-10 in the most recent meeting in November 2024 as the road team.

Ole Miss at Georgia picks and predictions

Prediction

Georgia 27, Ole Miss 23

Moneyline

PASS.

I lean toward the Bulldogs as -285 favorites, but they are not worth the risk as such heavy favorites, especially in a very tight matchup. Pass and bet the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

BET OLE MISS +7 (-105).

Ole Miss has one of the top defenses in the country, ranking in the top 5 in the SEC in total yards, passing yards, rushing yards and points per game. Unlike in years past, Georgia’s defense is not good enough to stifle that offense, as the Dawgs sit outside the top 5 in the SEC in total yards, passing yards, rushing yards and points allowed per game.

I lean toward Georgia to win because of its run game. Ole Miss allows 157.7 rushing yards per game, ranking in the bottom 3 in the SEC. However, Georgia’s run game is not strong enough for it to win by 8 or more here.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 56.5 (-110).

Ole Miss has a great offense, but if this is going to be a shootout, Georgia won’t win. The Bulldogs simply don’t have the offensive firepower to keep up with Ole Miss if they let it turn into a shootout. So, if you are backing the Dawgs, back the Under as well.

This is a lean because Ole Miss is so good offensively and both teams are mediocre defensively, making the Over of 56.5 an easy number to hit.
