Georgia football's season rolls on after their 34-20 win against Florida this past weekend. The Bulldogs have two games remaining on their conference schedule, and they are two of the hardest games they will play all season.

Next up for Georgia is a road date with No. 16 Ole Miss. Initial thoughts might tell you that this is a game Kirby Smart and Georgia should win relatively easily, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Ole Miss just scored 63 points this past weekend against Arkansas and they don't look like they're slowing down anytime soon.

So who does Vegas like this weekend?

Current Georgia vs. Ole Miss odds

As of 5:00 pm EST on Nov. 4, Georgia is a 2.5 point favorite over Ole Miss according to ESPN Bet. The over-under is also set at 54.5 points for this game. ESPN's Football Power Index however gives the Rebels a 53.9 percent chance to win this game.

Georgia vs. Ole Miss Prediction

This is a very scary game for Georgia. Their final road game of the season against one of the hottest teams in the country who is extremely desperate is a very dangerous test. A loss for Ole Miss and their chances of making the SEC Championship and College Football Playoffs are gone. Whenever that is the combo UGA is up against it is hard to feel overly confident.

But Georgia is just as a desperate as well. A loss for the Bulldogs likely means they will miss out on the SEC Championship game this year as well. They would still have a good chance to make the CFP, but they would not have room for any more losses.

Will Georgia be able to slow down the Ole Miss offense? That is what this game will come down to. Carson Beck and the UGA offense will score enough points to win, but it will all depend on how many points Georgia gives up. Thankfully the Georgia defense has been playing very well and will be up for the task.

Prediction: Georgia wins 34-24
