Ole Miss vs. Georgia Tech picks, predictions: Week 3 college football game odds, spread, lines
This weekend brings us a notable non-conference matchup between the SEC and ACC as undefeated Ole Miss returns home to face off against Georgia Tech in college football's Week 3 action on Saturday.
Ole Miss is perfect through two games after defeats over Mercer and Tulane and relying more heavily on the passing game behind quarterback Jaxson Dart, posting 515 yards per game, scoring 110 combined points, but is also playing some strong defense so far, holding Tulane to 20 points last week, covering the spread as the 13-point road favorite.
Georgia Tech rebounded from the season opening loss against Louisville with a 48-13 victory over Carolina State, the first win for head coach Brent Key in his debut season. Tech covered the spread in the loss and in four of its last six overall games, as quarterback Haynes King has over 600 yards passing with 7 TDs and one turnover.
What do the experts think of the matchup? Let's see how the College Football Power Index computer prediction model projects the game.
