Georgia football heads to Oxford, Mississippi, as a narrow favorite over the Rebels.
According to Vegas Insider, the No. 2-ranked Bulldogs (7-1) — just 2-6 against the spread this season — are 2.5-point favorites at No. 16 Ole Miss (7-2) on the heels of a shaky victory against Florida.
Georgia beat the unranked Gators 34-20, but Florida had the game tied late into the fourth quarter — despite utilizing an inexperienced, third-string redshirt freshman quarterback who transferred from Yale.
The Rebels’ quarterback situation is much different, as demonstrated by a 63-31 win over Arkansas.
Quarterback Jaxson Dart leads the nation with 3,210 yards passing and is also the best in the country with a 192.37 pass efficiency rating.
Georgia quarterback Carson Beck, by contrast, is under fire after consecutive three-interception outings.
The Bulldogs won both games, and part of Beck’s struggles could be attributed to receivers dropping passes and missing assignments. But as a high-profile, high-dollar NIL quarterback, Beck has been exposed to a higher degree of scrutiny.
