What can one bet on?
No. 3 Georgia visits No. 16 Ole Miss on Saturday (3:30 p.m. ET) in one of two games between ranked teams in Week 11.
The Bulldogs (7-1) survived a scare from Florida last week but held on for a 34-20 win. Kirby Smart’s team landed third in the inaugural CFP rankings, behind only Oregon and Ohio State. Another win will only strengthen their position as they chase a third national championship in four seasons. For what it’s worth, they own the second-best NCAA title futures odds (+400) on the board at BetMGM.
Ole Miss (7-2), meanwhile, sits just outside the CFP rankings at No. 16. The Rebels — who rank second in FBS in total offense (555.4 yards per game) and scoring (42.1 points per game) — are still looking for their first win over an AP Top 25 team. Obviously, beating Georgia would greatly enhance their stock down the stretch.
BetMGM lists Georgia as a 2.5-point road favorite and -140 on the money line. Conversely, Ole Miss is +115 to win outright.
| TEAM | MONEYLINE | SPREAD | TOTAL |
|---|---|---|---|
| Georgia | -140 | -2.5 (-120) | O 54.5 (-115) |
| Ole Miss | +115 | +2.5 (+100) | U 54.5 (-105) |
Later Saturday (7:30 p.m. ET), No. 10 Notre Dame will host Florida State. The Fighting Irish (7-1) were off last week on the heels of their 51-14 rout of Navy on Oct. 26. Ranked 10th in the first CFP poll, they must take advantage of every opportunity they get to improve their resume in November.
Obviously, they have far more to lose than gain this week. Florida State (1-8) has been a colossal disappointment, managing a win over unranked California and nothing more. The Seminoles — who finished 13-1 last season after being snubbed by the CFP committee — rank near the bottom of FBS in total offense (264.6 yards per game) and scoring (14.4 points per game).
The Seminoles will hit the road as 25.5-point underdogs and +1550 on the moneyline, compared to -5000 for Notre Dame.
| TEAM | MONEYLINE | SPREAD | TOTAL |
|---|---|---|---|
| Florida St. | +1550 | +25.5 (-105) | O 42.5 (-110) |
| Notre Dame | -5000 | -25.5 (-115) | U 42.5 (-110) |
