Georgia betting breakdown
The Georgia Bulldogs have not lost two games in a season since 2020. They look to avoid that fate when they face Ole Miss on Saturday. In their last meeting, the Bulldogs rushed for more than 300 years. In the off season, it seemed as if Ole Miss retooled its roster with this matchup in mind. Georgia’s offense remains potent in 2024, scoring more than 30 points per game in each outing this year. While a loss in this game might not cost the Bulldogs a spot in the College Football Playoffs, a setback to the Rebels could knock them from the SEC Championship Game.
“They’re probably, when you look at offense and defense, both sides of the ball, they’re probably the best combination of those two things in our conference,” Georgia coach Kirby Smart said on the SEC Teleconference. “They are really good at both and are playing really good football right now. We’ll have a great challenge over in Oxford.”
Smart called out the Ole Miss defense in that conversation, saying the team has, “arguably the best defense in the country in terms of sacks and tackles for loss in the SEC.”
The Bulldogs offense averages 431.3 yards per game, 299 in the air and 132.3 on the ground, while scoring 33.4 points per game. The team’s defense is third in the SEC in fewest yards allowed per game (295.3), giving up 187.1 yards in the air and 108.1 on the ground.
Ole Miss betting breakdown
Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin had nothing but praise for the Georgia Bulldogs ahead of this weekend’s matchup. “This is the test of all tests,” said Kiffiin. “This is the premier program in college football, what Alabama used to be, and (coach) Kirby (Smart)’s done an amazing job. I think since 2021, they’re 49-0 besides three losses to a team named Alabama.”
Kiffin added, “…told our players, you still have (the College Football Playoff) alive, and in my opinion, anybody that’s going to win it is going to have to go through Georgia.”
The Rebels are not the same team they were in 2023, entering this contest, Ole Miss has the best offense in the SEC in yards and points per game. They also have the third best scoring defense in the conference and the top rushing defense in college football.
Ole Miss senior quarterback Jaxson Dart has 3,210 passing yards with 21 touchdowns and just three interceptions this year. In last week’s Arkansas game, senior Jordan Watkins picked up 254 receiving yards and five receiving touchdowns, both marks are school records.
The team leads the SEC in offensive yards per game (555.4) and passing yards per game (377.1). Their rushing of 178.3 yards per game is fourth in the conference. The team is also first in the SEC in offensive points per game with 42.1.
