The best quarterfinal of the College Football Playoff might be saved for last It's a rematch of one of the better games of the regular season when Georgia rallied past Mississippi 43-35 in the lone loss of the season for the Rebels.

Both quarterbacks shined in the game with Gunner Stockton throwing for 289 yards and four touchdowns in a winning effort. The Rebels got 263 yards passing from Trinidad Chambliss, who led five consecutive touchdown drives to start the game. But Ole Miss didn't score the rest of the game and the Bulldogs prevailed on their way to another SEC title.

Now the two teams meet nearly 10 weeks later with both looking very different. Mississippi saw Lane Kiffin leave for LSU and the promotion of defensive coordinator Pete Golding. Some of the the coaches that are following Kiffin remain to help assist Golding, but how they mesh against the challenge of the improved Georgia defense will be critical. The Bulldogs held Texas, Georgia Tech and Alabama to a combined 26 points in their last three games against Power Four opponents.

The matchup promises to be an intriguing rematch with a place in the semifinals on the line. Who will advance? Our expects make their forecasts for the winner.

Georgia vs. Mississippi predictions for Sugar Bowl

Matt Hayes

The Ole Miss run game in October consisted of QB Trinidad Chambliss and hidden yardage on scrambles. Georgia will contain Chambliss' escape, setting up unmanageable down and distance where the pass rush will take over. And Dawgs QB Gunner Stockton will continue his late-season pass game surge. Georgia 24, Mississippi 23.

1 / 30Best of bowl season: Mascots, trophies, celebrations, Gatorade bathsDefensive back Tony-Louis Nkuba #21 of the Arizona State Sun Devils celebrates by jumping into an inflatable bowl of Kellogg's Frosted Flakes after intercepting a pass against the Duke Blue Devils during the first half of the Tony The Tiger Sun Bowl game at Sun Bowl Stadium on December 31, 2025 in El Paso, Texas

Jordan Mendoza

This might be the most fun matchup of the entire quarterfinal. Fireworks should be going off just like the first meeting these two had. Unfortunately for the Rebels, it ends in the same result with the Bulldogs making the key fourth quarter plays to prevail. Georgia 37, Mississippi 31.

Paul Myerberg

Georgia has made noticeable gains on defense since beating Ole Miss in October. While the Rebels looked good against Tulane, the Bulldogs have rounded into form as a complete team on both sides after a sluggish start. The Rebels have to hope for an edge in the turnover battle to score the upset. Georgia 31, Mississippi 21.

Erick Smith

After 78 points were scored in the first game between these teams, look for the defenses to make some adjustments to slow this game down. But with Georgia having the advantage on that side of the ball and questions about how the Ole Miss offense will function without Lane Kiffin, expect the Bulldogs to repeat its win from October. Georgia 30, Mississippi 20.

Eddie Timanus

The Rebels win in a rematch against Tulane in the first round was basically a rerun. Unfortunately for Ole Miss, this second matchup against Georgia will follow the same script as well as the Bulldogs march on to the Fiesta Bowl. Georgia 35, Mississippi 27.

Blake Toppmeyer

Trinidad Chambliss might need to have the game of his life for Ole Miss to spring an upset. And even if he does, the Rebels' defense can be a liability. That showed when these teams met in the regular season. Georgia 34, Mississippi 28.

Kings vs. Celtics preview: How to watch, TV, stream, odds, injury news

The Sacramento Kings (8-25) are taking on the Boston Celtics (20-12) to begin the new year at Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California. Tip-off is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (7 p.m. PT) on Jan. 1.

Sacramento is back at home and look to put their woes behind them after a short trip to Southern California where they were defeated by an average margin of 32.5 points in games against the Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers.

The Celtics are coming off of a 129-119 win against the Utah Jazz, with three players — Derrick White (27), Jaylen Brown (23) and Anfernee Simons (20) — scoring at least 20 points. Payton Pritchard added 18.

Boston is third in the Eastern Conference standings and sit 4.5 games behind the first-place Detroit Pistons (25-8). The Kings are trying to find their way, as they stand at the No. 14 spot in the West.

Here's what you ahead of Thursday's matchup between the Kings and Celtics:

How to watch Celtics vs. Kings: TV channel, live stream -

Start time: 10:00 p.m. ET (7:00 p.m. PT)

Location: Golden 1 Center (Sacramento, California)

Live stream: NBA League Pass; Fubo; Peacock

Kings injury report

The Kings will be missing guard Zach LaVine and center Domantas Sabonis due to injury. LaVine is out with a left ankle sprain; Sabonis is out with a partial meniscus tear in his left knee.

Two-way players Dylan Cardwell, Daeqwon Plowden and Isaiah Stevens have been assigned to the G-League affiliate Stockton Kings.

Kings keys to victory -

More energy, intensity: Sacramento looked lethargic in multiple instances in its last game against the Clippers. Expect the Kings to take that to heart and play with pride on their home floor in front of their passionate fans.

Make-or-miss league: Sometimes it's a simple as it's a make-or-miss league and you need your main guys to knock down their shots. Keegan Murray, DeMar DeRozan and Keon Ellis did not shoot the ball well in their last game, all under 40% from the field. This game either they will have to turn that around or other guys have to catch fire.

Cool down, JB: Focus on the little things, defensively. Incoming is Jaylen Brown, who was named Eastern Conference Player of the Week from Dec. 22-28. He averaged 32.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.7 steals on nearly 56% from the field and nearly 43% from 3-point land.

Don't sleep on the others: The Kings can't forget about the other guys who can fill the box score such as Payton Pritchard (16.9 ppg), Derrick White (18.4 ppg) or reserve guard Anfernee Simons (13 ppg).

Celtics vs. Kings odds

Odds according to BetMGM as of Wednesday evening.

Spread: Celtics by 9.5 (-110)

All Creatures Great and Small

What *Downton Abbey* did for British aristocracy, *All Creatures Great and Small* does for English veterinary practices. The series follows Scottish veterinary assistant James Herriot (Nicholas Ralph) operating — often literally — out of a more experienced practitioner's small business in the Yorkshire Dales. From the moment James first meets Samuel West's waspish Siegfried Farnon, the two fall into a jovial (if not always smooth) mentor-mentee humor. Nothing sells cozy like the picturesque Yorkshire countryside, charming U.K. accents, Wellies, and baby lamb down. Binge seasons 1-5 on PBS on demand or on the PBS app before season 6 premieres on Jan. 11. —*Debbie Day, Staff Editor*

When Harry Met Sally

There's no better time than December to revisit Rob Reiner's legendary rom-com. With delightful dialogue from Nora Ephron and electric performances from Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan, the film (streaming on Starz) culminates in a triumphant New Year's finale that can warm even the coldest of hearts. —*Wesley Stenzel, News Writer*

Forget roasting chestnuts and open fires. The ultimate Christmastime tradition ought to be repeat viewings of BBC's *A Ghost Story for Christmas* TV movie series, and its pinnacle, the haunting *Whistle and I'll Come to You* (available on AMC+ and YouTube). —*Ryan Coleman, News Writer*

Transport back to 1946 in this radio play version of Frank Capra's classic. Such is the conceit for this, well… *wonderful* production of George Bailey's encounter with an angel lacking wings that is currently melting hearts on stage at the Irish Rep in NYC. —*Dalton Ross, Editorial Director*

When it comes to his character's hypothetical favorite movies, *Heated Rivalry* star Hudson Williams says, "I'll have what she's having."

Responding to a Letterboxd Instagram query asking fans what they think the favorite movies of *Heated Rivalry*'s Shane (Williams) and Ilya Rozanov (Connor Storrie) would be, Williams jumped in on the conversation (he has some pretty good insight, after all). He thinks his character's top pick would be the classic romantic comedy *When Harry Met Sally*, starring Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan.

Next up was Pixar's 2008 animated film, *Wall-E*, which is also quite the romantic tale, albeit between two adorable space robots. *Lord of the Rings: Return of the King* and 1956 western epic *The* *Searchers* round out Shane's list, which also features an honorable mention for gay coming-of-age film, *Moonlight*, the reasons for which Williams claims are "Issa secret." (Storrie does not appear to have weighed in yet on Ilya's picks.)

This is all very fitting, of course. In the smash hit TV series, which is based on Rachel Reid's *Game* *Changers* novel series, Williams and Storrie play professional hockey rivals by day, who develop a steamy secret love by night.

The series received critical acclaim and became the Canadian streamer Crave's most-watched original series to date and HBO Max's top debut for an acquired, non-animated title since 2019 when it debuted on the platform in November. Unsurprisingly, the show was renewed for a second season earlier this month.

Series creator Jacob Tierney previously provided a timeline for new episodes to *Entertainment* *Weekly*. "It will not be the same time next year, but it'll be pretty soon after that," Tierney says. "It's not gonna be two years. It's not even gonna be 18 months, I don't think. So we're gonna go as fast as we can, while ensuring that we're doing as good a job as we possibly can."**

When asked if any plans have been fast tracked in light of the show's success, Tierney responds, "There's only so fast a track to go down when the show is written and directed by one person. I haven't started writing yet. I'm going to. We are aware. We want to get the season out as soon as we can, as well, while also making sure that we give people a good second season."

Season 2 will focus once more on Shane and Ilya's relationship and be presumably based on *The Long Game* book in the series, all of which excites Storrie. "I'm interested to play at the dynamic that develops in *The Long Game*, which is, now that we've established we're together and we're choosing this, what does that look like to consistently choose through new obstacles, new self-realizations?" he tells EW. "We're in the real leagues now, and it's cool to watch these people that have been in this heightened reality for so long. The other shoe drops that deepens the love, but that also tests some of their personal limits."
