Overview
- Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. ET at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, with ESPN carrying the College Football Playoff quarterfinal and the winner advancing in the CFP.
- Sportsbooks list Georgia around -6.5 with a totals line near 55.5, and roughly 70% to 75% of spread tickets and money are on the Bulldogs.
- SportsLine’s 10,000-simulation model leans to the Over at about 57 points and indicates one side covers in nearly 60% of runs, while prop models project Gunner Stockton slightly over the low‑220s in passing and Trinidad Chambliss narrowly under listed pass and rush marks.
- Ole Miss is competing under Pete Golding after Lane Kiffin’s move to LSU, and Kiffin publicly challenged ESPN GameDay’s unanimous Georgia picks on social media.
- Dual‑threat quarterbacks Chambliss and Stockton headline the matchup, Georgia’s defense ranks among the nation’s best against the run, and Ole Miss RB Kewan Lacy’s shoulder status remains a key pregame variable.
