Georgia at Tennessee picks and predictions
Prediction
Tennessee 72, Georgia 53
Moneyline
AVOID.
Even with Tennessee (-1700) expected to win easily, taking it straight up at the current odds isn’t worth a wager.
Against the spread
The Volunteers look like one of the best teams in the nation right now, so TENNESSEE -16.5 (-115) is the lean. It’s a massive spread to cover, but the Volunteers are 8-2 ATS when favored by 10 or more points.
Tennessee is also 5-2 ATS in its last 7 home games against a team with a losing road record and the home team is 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings between these teams.
Over/Under
Both of these teams are stingy defensive squads, making UNDER 134.5 (-105) an enticing wager in this SEC matchup. The Volunteers allow the 2nd-fewest points per game (54.4) in the nation, while the Bulldogs surrender a modest 66.1 points per game.
