A pair of 12-1 SEC rivals will square off in tonight's College Football Playoff quarterfinal. It's the #3 Georgia Bulldogs taking on the #6 Ole Miss Rebels in the 2026 Sugar Bowl. The winner will take on #10 Miami in the Fiesta Bowl.

These two teams met in conference play back in October, which resulted in a spectacular 43-35 Georgia victory. The Bulldogs came from behind, outscoring Ole Miss 17-0 in the fourth quarter to hand them their only loss of the season.

Game Lines and Predictions

Georgia -6.5 (-115)

🏈Odds via FanDuel📈

The entire country seems to be betting on Georgia, and with good reason. They've already beaten Ole Miss this season and the Rebels have been put in an extremely odd position, having to navigate the College Football Playoff without head coach Lane Kiffin. While Ole Miss breezed against Tulane, that was Tulane. This is Georgia.

Over 55.5 (-115)

🏈Odds via Caesars Sportsbook 📈

This has all the makings of another high-scoring affair. These two teams combined for 78 points in their first game, and we're a bit surprised that this line isn't at least 60. Ole Miss has scored 30+ points in all but two games this season and are significant underdogs.

Player Props

Gunner Stockton 3+ Passing Touchdowns (+255)

🏈Odds via FanDuel📈

In their first matchup of the season, Stockton threw for four touchdowns and ran for another. Why should he change the recipe?

While he's not necessarily the best passer of the ball, Stockton has thrown for at least three touchdowns in four of his last seven games. At +255, the price is way too high to ignore. At worst, take 2+ touchdowns at -138.

Gunner Stockton Over 42.5 Rushing Yards (-115)

🏈Odds via Caesars Sportsbook 📈

Stockton has run the ball 28 times in his last two outings, and his legs are fresh after having a month. Last time he faced Ole Miss, he had 10 carries for 59 yards and a touchdown. We don't see why he wouldn't take to the ground once again.

Zachariah Branch 9+ Receptions (+414)

🏈Odds via DraftKings 📈

Big-time players have big-time games. Branch led the SEC with 73 receptions this season, including eight in his first matchup against Ole Miss. We're looking for him to have a huge game and wouldn't be shocked if he hit double digits.
