Ole Miss vs Georgia Betting Prediction
Georgia comes into this matchup with a 5-11 conference record and they have really struggled over the last five weeks. The Bulldogs are only shooting 43% from the field, which is causing their scoring to be very inconsistent. Ole Miss is 7-9 in conference play and they are still on the bubble, so they cannot afford a loss in this game. The Rebels are the slightly better shooting team, but they haven’t beaten anyone other than Missouri since January 30th. I do think the Rebels are the better team and they have way more to play for, so give me Ole Miss on the road.
