Game card: Ole Miss

Opponent:  Mississippi
Mascot:  Rebels
Primary color(s):  Blue and red
Record:  11-6 (2-2)
Best player:  Stefan Moody
Line:  Georgia -5

Why Georgia will win:  Even including the Arkansas loss, Georgia sure has been good at home.  A healthy Yante Maten also gives the Bulldogs some extra juice.  Now that it's conference play, Kenny Gaines is red hot.  Georgia won't relax after the win against Florida because they know there's more work to be done.

Why Georgia will lose:  Ole Miss has been pretty good on the road, including an OT loss to Kentucky and an absolute drubbing of Arkansas where they put up 96 points.  They are extremely deep, with 9 guys seeing regular floor time, and that bodes well against a Georgia team struggling with injuries.

What I think will happen:  I'm tempted to pick against Georgia just because that's working so well.  I'll trust that the universe isn't listening and say Dawgs win 77-72.
