Georgia Football vs Mississippi State Score Predictions
As the Georgia/Mississippi State game inches closer, here is how the Dawgs Daily crew members believe the game will unfold.
The Georgia Bulldogs are set to host the Mississippi State Bulldogs this Saturday as they continue their SEC gauntlet through the 2024 season. This will be the first meeting between the two programs since Georgia’s national championship season in 2022.
With preparations for this exciting matchup nearly wrapped up, here is how our Dawgs Daily crew believes that game will unfold.
Jonathan Williams: Georgia 41, Mississippi State 7
If there were ever a time for Georgia’s offense to really get things going it would be this weekend. Mississippi State has struggled to keep teams out of the red zone this season and teams are converting those red zone attempts into touchdowns at a high rate. Another factor going into this game is that Mississippi State’s offense runs at a very high tempo while also not being very effecient. That means their defense gets put onto the field a lot and is put into some tough situations. I expect Georgia to cruise this weekend and bring a lot of momentum into next week when they get ready for Texas.
Brooks Austin: Georgia 42, Mississippi State 10
There are way too many statistics and way too much film through five games to think this game shouldn’t be handle properly by Georgia. Mississippi State is dead last in the conference in explosive plays allowed, they are dead last in sacks, they are dead last in rushing yards allowed per game. Georgia is in need of a hot start and a confidence-boosting game and with the way Mississippi allows leads to be gained quickly, this is the one to circle. Mississippi State been down at points this season 35 to 3 vs Toledo, 28 to 7 to Florida, and 28 to 6 to Texas. Georgia should handle this one, and handle it early.
Christian Kirby II: Georgia 45, Mississippi State 9
While extremely efficient, Georgia hasn’t been explosive on offense up to this point in the season. However, although Mississippi State is an SEC opponent, they will probably not have much success keeping the Dawgs’ offense at bay. Look for Georgia to have an extremely efficient day on offense, even if they don’t have numerous explosives.

Esquire names Mississippi seafood place among Top 33 best new restaurants
What to do with leftover food
Stop wasting leftovers. Here’s how to get the most out of your meals.
Problem Solved
A Mississippi restaurant has made a short list of the hottest new restaurants in America for 2025. Esquire named the 33 best new places to eat.
“… This has been the Year of the Good Time,” writer Joshua David Stein noted. “A good time not in an ‘ostrich in the sand’ way or in a ‘decline and fall of the Roman Empire’ mode. A good time founded on the recognition that good times — with friends around a table, breaking bread — are more important than ever in chaotic, topsy-turvy years like these.”
The national list includes places that meet what Esquire’s Food & Drinks Editor Jeff Hordinier calls “’the five C’s’ —we’re looking for a sweet spot of hospitality that incorporates comfort, creativity, cool, community, and (of course) excellent cooking.”
Which Mississippi seafood place did Esquire call one of the best new restaurants?
Siren Social Club in Gulfport made the Esquire list of the Top 33 new restaurants in the U.S. Chef Adam Sumrall and his wife and business partner Tresse Sumrall recently attended a party in New York City to celebrate the honor.
“The old building used to be a mortuary, but it’s got plenty of life in it now. Festooned with images of tropical flora and ruled by a statue of an orange enchantress who looks ready for the Life of a Showgirl world tour, Siren Social Club makes it clear from the outset that you are here to shake off the cobweb,” chef Amethyst Ganaway wrote for Esquire.
The Sumralls opened Siren on Halloween night in 2024. It’s in the same building a Hotel Vela, a boutique option in Gulf Coast hospitality. The pair also run White Pillars in Biloxi.
They excel at elevated dining experiences in fun, elegant settings. The Michelin guide also gave both Siren Social Club and White Pillars nods in its first American South’s 2025 Recommended Restaurants list.
“Siren Social Club dares to be different,” the guide notes.
Southern Living also named it one of the 20 new restaurants in the South earlier this year.
“Swanky and cool, it’s a fun spot for early birds and night owls alike,” wrote Senior Food Editor Josh Miller.
What’s on the Siren Social Club menu?
Chef Adam Sumrall brings Southern cooking paired with haute cuisine training. He’s a graduate of Ole Miss and the Culinary Institute of America, according to the Hotel Vela website. The McComb native won the King of American Seafood title at the 2021 Great American Seafood Cook-off in New Orleans. He’s a James Beard Foundation semi-finalist for best chef in the South who’s been featured on several cooking shows. Sumrall won Food Network’s “Alex vs America.”
“Their admirably robust menu indulges coastal cravings via seasonal oysters and Gulf shrimp while appeasing land lovers with steakhouse favorites and handmade pastas,” Miller wrote.
Esquire highlighted the “luxe party food,” particularly crispy chicken with hot honey, thousand-layer potatoes, beef Wellington and a shrimp cocktail that comes with buttered crackers.
Current menu listings include a caviar service, beef tartare and pork chop paillard.
When can I go to Siren Social Club?
According to the website, Siren Social Club is open 5-9 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday and 5-10 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
It’s at 1409 24th Ave., Gulfport.

Ohio man pleads guilty to possessing device-making equipment in Mississippi
JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) – An Ohio man pled guilty last week to illegally possessing credit card encoding devices in Mississippi.
According to court documents, Sean Matthew Langston, Jr., 33, was arrested in Rankin County on April 28, 2024, following a traffic stop. Investigators said Langston and his co-defendant, John Carleton Johnson, Jr., were found to be in possession of 322 gift cards, 17 reencoded instruments containing stolen bank card data, and two magstripe encoding devices.
Prosecutors said Langston and Johnson could be seen on CCTV footage at various retail stores throughout the Jackson-metro area purchasing gift cards with known cloned instruments.
Langston pled guilty to one count of illegal possession, production, or trafficking in device-making equipment with intent to defraud. He is scheduled to be sentenced on April 14, 2026, and faces a maximum sentence of 15 years in federal prison.
A federal grand jury returned a three-count indictment against Langston and Johnson on February 20, 2025. Johnson pled guilty on June 30, 2025, and was sentenced to serve two years in federal prison and ordered to pay a fine of $5,000 on November 3, 2025.
