SEC betting lines: Georgia 3-point favorite over Ole Miss despite quarterback differences
ATHENS — The odds are catching up to Georgia, at least, as far as the experts in Las Vegas are concerned.

DAWGS defense is suspect at times, but i don't think Dart, or ole miss has faced a defense as talented as UGA's this season. And vice versa, DAWGS defense haven't faced a passer, and WR corp like ole miss has. Going to be a close, interesting game. Still, i believe the DAWGS will leave Oxford with just the 1 loss on their record..DAWGS 27 rebels 23
UGA 27 Ole Miss 14
We will need to play our best game to win this week. Defense has looked good and great last 2 outings so having a healthy Brinson, Mykel, and Jalon is a huge advantage.
I watched the game and they were giving Dart 4 and 5 seconds to throw.
This game will come down to our DL and LBers playing good to great. If we do that we have a good shot. Dart panics when pressure is put on him and Kentucky showed how it can be done.
On offense we just need to be steady and not turn it over. We need to get our running game going and utilize Dillon Bell. Sounds simple.
If we do that we will win.
O-line will have to run block better than they have been to keep their possessions and explosive plays to a minimum.
If the oddsmakers actually watched UGA play, they wouldn't always make us the prohibitive favorites that they have been. They see the name Georgia and our bevy of 4- and 5-star talent and just assume that we're 20 or 30 points better than so-and-so. But if they actually watched our games, they would see that few, if any, of our 4- and 5-star players are CONSISTENTLY playing at that level. As a result, teams loaded with 2- and 3-star players are able to compete with us to make games close and in the case of Alabama — one team with comparable or superior talent — beat us.
I prefer us to be the underdog to give Kirby fodder for the team.
Our defensive line will have to really step it up against Ole Miss and put some pressure on Dart—unlike their performance in Jacksonville—in order to win this game.
From a defensive standpoint I think I’d rather our Dawgs face the pass attack more so than the run. Dawgs have been gashed badly vs the run this year. Not saying they haven’t been burned some by the pass attack, just they seem to standup better vs the pass.
Course I know Dart can run pretty good, but I think Kiffin will be reluctant to run him to much to prevent injury. On our O Dawgs ( Beck) have GOT to put up points consistently and protect the dawg gone ball !! Go Dawgs !!
Well, honestly, the odds kinda make sense. I would say that the odds are pretty equal that we have:
- Very Close Game
- Blowout of 20+ pts vs them
- They blow us out by 20+ pts
That's not just a knock on Georgia but the way other teams are playing. Tennesee didn't exactly dominate Kentucky (1-6 in the SEC) AT HOME with leading by only 3 pts in the 4th quarter. South Carolina (who granted has had a difficult schedule) absolutely DESTROYED #10 Texas A&M. Vandy beat Auburn by 10 pts who had beated Kentucky by 14 points.
I'm not super worried as I believe that we'll get it together, but I'm still really disappointed in the performances after bi-weeks. Something desperately needs to change there.
We should be the underdug given our QB plays for the other team.
