SEC Football: Week 4 Predictions
By Jake Ingram
Ole Miss (-7.5) over Georgia, Saturday 11:00 AM (CT), Vaught-Hemingway Stadium
Ole Miss has to be the best 1-2 team in the country. As was the case against Florida State, the Rebels were a couple of plays away from putting Bama away in the first half. But, the Rebels gave up a couple of big plays and turnovers that allowed Bama to storm back. Playoff hopes for the Rebels may be out the window, but they’re still in contention for the SEC West making this a critical game.
Georgia enters with a perfect record, but they haven’t been without there close calls. The Bulldogs narrowly survived their first road trip of the season at Missouri and are now facing an even tougher task this week in Oxford. The good news for Georgia is that Jacob Eason has firmly cemented himself as the quarterback and has looked impressive up to this point. However, the Bulldogs running game with Nick Chubb has struggled mightily since their strong opening weekend. Now the freshman QB faces the difficult prospect of a trip to Oxford with a struggling running game. That sounds a lot like what the Rebels faced last week with Bama. Fortunately for the Rebels, Georgia isn’t the same caliber of team as Bama. Expect Ole Miss to get their season on track behind a strong performance from Chad Kelly. Ole Miss 31, Georgia 21
