Ole Miss Football vs. Georgia Bulldogs See Betting Lines Shift Ahead of Sugar Bowl

Pete Golding and the Ole Miss Rebels will hit the road to the Bayou State for a New Year's Day matchup against Kirby Smart's Georgia Bulldogs in this year's Sugar Bowl.

In what will be a rematch of an SEC thriller from October, Golding and Co. will look to avenge an early-season loss to the Bulldogs in Athens.

"Well, hopefully we can get them to at least punt one time," Golding said. "That would be a good start. No, I mean, extremely talented football team. Very well-coached. Premier college football team, in my opinion, and have been for some time.

"They do a really good job on offense. Using multiple formations creating extra gaps. Do a good job really of running the football. The run sets up their play action.

"The quarterback has got experience and is playing at a really high level. Very accurate, makes really good decisions."

Now, the betting lines have seen slight movement ahead of next week's showdown at the Caesars Superdome.
