Ole Miss' quarterback battle wages on, but will it impact their sterling record?

Both Jaxson Dart and Luke Altmyer have had chances to shine for the Rebels so far this season, and there isn't a full time starter just yet. The QB battle continues on into Week 3 against Georgia Tech, but Altmyer is a bit banged up after he left his start against Central Arkansas with an upper body injury.

We'll assess the QB decision making for head coach Lane Kiffin, and if either one can lead the Rebels to a cover on the road against the lowly Yellow Jackets. Here are the odds from FanDuel Sportsbook:

Ole Miss vs. Georgia Tech Prediction and Pick

With Dart and Altmyer expected to continue to duke it out for the role as full time starter, I'm couting on the team to keep their foot on the pedal and blowout a helpless Georgia Tech team.

The Yellow Jackets lost 41-10 to Clemson in their opening game and allowed 17 points to FCS foe Western Carolina. With an elite SEC offensive line, I expect TCU transfer Zach Evans to have a big game on the ground against a Georgia Tech defense that was 115th in defensive success rate last season.

GT was able to put up 35 points, but mainly due to an 102-yard outing from Dontae Smith. Quarterback Jeff Sims continues to struggle with accuracy, completing 58% of his passes for five yards per attempt, and won't be able to keep the Yellow Jackets within shouting distance of Ole Miss.

I'll lay the number as Dart and Altmyer should switch out gashing this GT defense.
