They are 2-0 in their home games, 1-0 in their road games, and they are also 0-0 in their neutral site games this season, but they will be at home for this game.

The current betting odds have Ole Miss listed as a 35 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Ole Miss has looked really good in their games this season with their 3-0 record overall. They have been blowing a lot of teams out in their first 3 games and they are coming off another blow out win in their last one, beating Wake Forest 40-6 in their 1st road game of the season. They won that game by 34 on the road against a team from the ACC, now they are coming back home for 1 last tune up game against a group of 5 team before their conference schedule starts next week. Meanwhile, Georgia Southern has looked good in their games this season with their 2-1 record overall, but they haven't really been tested in their 2 wins. They are coming off a win against a team from the FCS in their last one and their other win this season was against Nevada. Their loss was against Boise State at home and they put up a ton of points in that one, but their defense also gave up 56. Ole Miss has a much better offense than any team GA Southern has faced this season and that defense isn't going to keep Ole Miss off the board here. Ole Miss has also improved their defense a lot from last season since they aren't giving up a ton of points in their games anymore, so putting up points isn't going to be easy for GA Southern. Ole Miss will pull away in this game and there won't be a way back in for Georgia Southern. The best way to place a bet here is on Ole Miss to cover the spread in this game.

"We've got to do a tremendous job. This is by far the most well-balanced offense that we will face, maybe all year, with the ability to really push the ball down the field explosively in the pass game with a quarterback. But they also got a great run game." - Clay Helton on his team’s upcoming game against Ole Miss this week.

“There certainly were days when you wouldn't be finding issues with 34-point road ACC wins. You'd just be happy to win.” - Lane Kiffin after his team’s win against Wake Forest in their last game.
