Summary:
After an impressive win over UNC in week one Georgia surprisingly struggled with Nicolls State and Missouri (each game decided by 3 points or fewer). Ole Miss has played a rigorous schedule so far losing to FSU and Alabama. Last week the Rebels nearly upset #1 Alabama for the third straight year. The Ole Miss defense has been gashed in the early going and they will need to control the line of scrimmage against Georgia. If Ole Miss can stuff the run and make this a passing game, Georgia will not be able to keep up. I like Ole Miss to bounce back and win at home.
