Georgia vs. Ole Miss
Play: Georgia -9½
Both teams are 1-2 as Mississippi let a 13-0, 4th quarter lead result into a 14-13 loss to BYU in Week 1. The Rebels then beat Southern Illinois, 42-24. However, last weeks 30-7 loss to Vanderbilt as a 2 1/2 point favorite showed what they are made of. Ole Miss was 4-8 last season, allowing 35.1 PPG. In each of their first 3 games, they were outgained by over 100 plus yards. Their offense is horrible. Their OL has been manhandled, stifling their running game with only 109.3 YPG on the ground. QB, Stoudt was intercepted 5 times by Vandy and was then pulled for Mackey until he got hurt. Georgia hung in with Boise State in Week 1 and South Carolina in Week 2. Last week, the 'Dogs got a much-needed confidence boost in their 59-0 shredding of Coastal Carolina. QB, Aaron Murray has already tallied 672 YP, a 63.1% completion rate, and 9 TDs. RB, Isaiah Crowell has 316 total yards and 3 TDs. Georgia played two Top 20 teams and has an edge in talent on offense, defense, and special teams. They are salivating at the chance to exploit the out-of-sync Mississippi defense. Ole Miss just doesn't have the weapons on offense to challenge the adequate Georgia defense. The Rebels are 10-25 ATS their L35 games played in September, 1-4 ATS their L5 home games, and 2-7 ATS their L9 overall. Take Georgia.

Nevada vs. Texas Tech
Play: Texas Tech -16.5
evada did the unthinkable last year when they took down Boise State. Unfortunately, this is a much different team, as almost all of the key players in that win have moved on. The Wolfpack aren't a graduate and instant-reload type of team. It takes time. They had to replace their best ever QB, and they return just 12 starters overall. Their success over the past couple years has kept this line lower than where it should be. They barely squeaked past a bad San Jose State team last week, and were beaten by seven TDs by Oregon. Texas Tech is again an offensive juggernaut having gone over 50 points in their first two games. I can't see Nevada slowing them down. Seth Doege has completed 82% of his passes, and should tear apart an inexperienced Wolfpack secondary. Under Chris Ault, the Wolfpack are 5-15 ATS on the road in non-conference games. Tech is 63-35 ATS in their last 98 home games including 47-26 ATS as a favorite. Play on Texas Tech here in a blowout.

There was no hurry to land here earlier – with Georgia Tech opening in such “sexy” fashion in the eyes of the pubic, we had plenty of time to wait. Now that waiting is bringing a full +7 into play, and that is impossible to pass up with what may well be the better team in this matchup.
Yes, the Yellow Jackets have had a dynamic opening, scoring 178 points in three games, leading the nation in Points, Total Offense, Rushing and Pass Efficiency. But those games were against non-conference opponents that did not spend all that much time game-planning for an offense they were not going to see again this season. Now it is A.C.C., and a North Carolina defense with seven SR starters, plus two more SR’s on the second-unit, has seen this attack often during their careers. And note just how different their preparation is, from current HC Everett Withers -
"It's one of those offense that you've got to spend time, not game week, working on. You need to be working on it in the spring and summer, which we have. It's always one our summer prep offenses. It's always one of our spring prep offenses. We spend the time because it's so unique. I really believe our kids understand this thing."
The Tar Heels are not going to stop this offense, but they will slow it down. And one of the ways they will do that is by moving the ball and generating a lot of points themselves against an unimposing Tech defense. QB Bryn Renner has completed a sizzling 81.4 percent of his passes so far (81.4 percent); there is excellent depth at RB with Giovanni Bernard, Ryan Houston and A. J. Blue; and WR Dwight Jones has already caught 20 passes for 336 yards and four TD’s. They can expose a young defense that only has four SR starters, and 11 under-classmen on the two-deep, with the secondary particularly inexperienced, an element that leaves the back-door wide open. But we are not sure that Carolina will even have back-door moments, with the Tar Heels very alive to win this game outright.
