Georgia at Tennessee odds, lines, picks and predictions
Prediction
Georgia 37, Tennessee 13
Money line
Georgia (-1100) should be able to keep steaming through Tennessee, but you can’t risk 11 times your possible return.
PASS and look to the number instead.
Against the spread
GEORGIA -20.5 (-105) is the play, mainly because the defense just doesn’t give anything up. The Dawgs have allowed just 6.6 points per game (PPG), tops in the nation, while ranking second in total yards allowed (232.4), passing yards allowed (151.1) and rushing yards allowed (81.3) per game.
Tennessee will be the biggest challenge for Georgia’s defense as the Vols rank 15th overall with 28.2 PPG. But even the Vols won’t be able to derail the UGA train.
Over/Under
The UNDER 56.5 (-112) is the play as Georgia’s defense has been absolutely amazing. Betting Overs and the Bulldogs just do not mix.
The Under is 5-0 in the past five games overall for Georgia, 4-1 in the past five on the road and 4-0 in the past four against teams with a winning record.
For Tennessee, while the Over is 4-1 in the previous five outings, the Under is 10-3 in its past 13 games at Neyland.
