Ole Miss Rebels vs Georgia Bulldogs Betting Preview
The Ole Miss Rebels head to Athens to face the Georgia Bulldogs in a pivotal SEC clash on Saturday, October 18, 2025. The game kicks off at 3:30 PM ET at Sanford Stadium and will be broadcast nationally on CBS.
Ole Miss enters the matchup ranked No. 4 with a perfect 6-0 record, while Georgia sits at No. 9 with a 5-1 mark. This matchup carries massive playoff implications as both teams remain in contention for the SEC title and a potential College Football Playoff berth.
The Rebels haven’t won in Athens since 1996, but Lane Kiffin’s squad has been dominant on both sides of the ball in 2025. Georgia, meanwhile, aims to defend its home field after a gritty 20-10 road win over Auburn last week.

Ole Miss Looking to Stay Perfect
Ole Miss narrowly escaped Washington State last weekend with a 24-21 victory, but the Rebels remain one of only a handful of unbeaten teams in college football. Kiffin’s team has been resilient and opportunistic, finding ways to win even when the offense isn’t at its sharpest.
Quarterback Trinidad Chambliss, a Division II transfer, has stepped up since replacing Austin Simmons, who suffered an ankle injury in Week 2. Chambliss has thrown for 1,286 yards and seven touchdowns while rushing for 281 yards and three more scores. Despite limited experience on the road, he has managed the offense efficiently.
The Rebels’ offensive system remains explosive under Kiffin, ranking top 10 nationally in total yards and averaging 36.2 points per game. Running back Quinshon Judkins continues to lead the ground attack with his power and vision, while receivers Tre Harris and Dayton Wade stretch the field with big-play ability.
Defensively, Ole Miss has thrived under coordinator Pete Golding. The Rebels rank 11th nationally in total defense and lead the SEC in takeaways. Their defensive line, anchored by Jared Ivey and JJ Pegues, has been disruptive all season, combining for nine sacks through six games.
Georgia Ready for a Statement Win
The Georgia Bulldogs survived a scare at Auburn last week, rallying for a 20-10 win after forcing a crucial goal-line fumble. Coach Kirby Smart has emphasized physicality and composure as Georgia looks to bounce back into championship form.
Quarterback Gunner Stockton has handled his first year as a starter with confidence, throwing for 1,264 yards and six touchdowns, and rushing for six more scores. His mobility gives the Bulldogs a dual-threat option that has been vital in red-zone situations.
Georgia’s offense has leaned heavily on a balanced attack. Running backs Branson Robinson and Roderick Robinson II have combined for over 800 yards this season, while tight end Oscar Delp continues to be a reliable target in the passing game.
Defensively, the Bulldogs remain elite. Georgia ranks top five in rushing defense, allowing just 89 yards per game, and has recorded 17 sacks this season. Linebacker Smael Mondon Jr. leads the unit with 45 tackles, while safety Malaki Starks anchors a secondary that has forced eight turnovers.
Line Movement and Odds
Current Odds:
- Ole Miss +4.5 (-110)
- Georgia -4.5 (-110)
- Total: 51.0 (Over -108 / Under -112)
Georgia has dominated this series at home, winning each of the last six meetings in Athens. However, Ole Miss won last season’s matchup 28-10 in Oxford, snapping Georgia’s streak in the series.
Matchup Breakdown
Ole Miss Rebels Outlook
Ole Miss thrives on tempo and offensive versatility. Chambliss brings poise and creativity, using quick reads and rollouts to neutralize pressure. Expect Kiffin to lean on a balanced attack early, with Judkins carrying the load to keep Georgia’s defense honest.
Defensively, Ole Miss must contain Stockton’s scrambling and force Georgia into predictable passing situations. The Rebels’ secondary, led by Deantre Prince, will be tested against Georgia’s deep receiving corps, but their speed on the edges could create key turnover opportunities.
Georgia Bulldogs Outlook
Georgia’s blueprint is simple: dominate the trenches and control possession. Their offensive line remains one of the best in college football, giving Stockton time to operate and opening holes for their powerful running backs.
Defensively, the Bulldogs will look to pressure Chambliss and take away Ole Miss’ run game. Georgia’s ability to generate interior pressure could be a difference-maker in limiting the Rebels’ explosive plays.
Key Edge
While Ole Miss boasts a dynamic offense, Georgia’s home dominance and physical defense are hard to overlook. The Bulldogs haven’t lost at Sanford Stadium since 2021, and their ability to control tempo gives them a crucial edge against the Rebels’ high-paced attack.
