Georgia opens as significant betting favorite against Ole Miss

Georgia was able to pull off the comeback victory against Auburn on Saturday, as the Bulldogs overcame a 10-0 deficit to get the road win.
Up next for the Bulldogs is a game against Ole Miss, and Circa Sports has priced Georgia as a 6-point favorite for next weekend’s matchup in Athens. The total has been set at 51.5 points.
Here’s a look at all the opening lines from Circa for Week 8:
Part of why Vegas may not be extremely high on Ole Miss is because of the Rebels performance on Saturday against Washington State. The Rebels entered that game as 32.5-point favorites, but they won by a score of only 24-21.
Now, that was your classic ‘trap game’ in college football. The Rebels were coming off a bye after their huge win against LSU two weeks ago. With the game against the Bulldogs on the horizon, Ole Miss looked like a team that was not extremely focused on the task at hand.
Both of these teams are in control of their destiny when it comes to making it to the SEC Championship as well as the College Football Playoff. The Rebels are undefeated, and a win here would be a huge step in the right direction for a program that has been knocking on the door to make it to the CFP.
Kickoff will be on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. in Athens, with the game being on ABC.
