Georgia and Mississippi State are both 3-0 heading into this pivotal SEC matchup on Saturday. Here’s a quick preview, along with some predictions.

One of the best matchups of the weekend might also be one of the more underrated games as well. No. 11 Georgia and No. 17 Mississippi State will be dueling it out on Saturday evening in Athens, GA, as they both look to hand the opponent their first loss of the season.

So far this season, Georgia has hosted Appalachian State and Samford and beaten both teams by an average of 19.5 points per game. They also traveled to Notre Dame in Week 2 for a marquee matchup that they won by a single point. While their record may be 3-0, they’re definitely vulnerable to defeat.

On the other sideline, Mississippi State has really come on as of late. They throttled Charleston Southern and Louisiana Tech in their first two games, by averaging over 50 points on offense. The signature win of the season so far came this past weekend for Hail State. Mississippi State hosted LSU and handed them a 37-7 loss in one of the more surprising outcomes of the weekend.
