Game preview Mississippi vs Georgia
Mississippi (8-1 overall, 6-2-1 against the spread, and 5-3-1 over/under) defeated Texas A&M 38-35 last Saturday and is now 5-1 in conference play – only one game behind Alabama for top honors in SEC West division play.
Georgia (9-0 SU, 3-6 ATS and 5-4 O/U) defeated 12th-ranked Missouri 30-21 last Saturday and now leads the SEC East with an unblemished 6-0 record.
The Dawgs are 10.5-point favorites against the Rebels, and both teams should be able to score some points in this one.
Can Georgia continue to roll?
