Tennessee vs. Georgia: Odds, betting lines and picks
Prediction
Georgia 31, Tennessee 17
Money line (ML)
GEORGIA (-500) is a huge moneyline favorite in this SEC matchup against Tennessee. While the Volunteers have been impressive to start the season, winning games against Missouri and South Carolina, Georgia is one of the best teams in all of college football. Their dominant win over Auburn last week shows the type of ceiling this team has when both sides of the ball are clicking.
This line is a bit chalky, but don’t be afraid of taking the Bulldogs here as they look to win their third-straight SEC game. It’s also worth noting that Tennessee has now lost eight of their last ten games against Georgia. The Bulldogs just have their number when it comes to conference play.
Against the spread (ATS)
GEORGIA -11.5 (-110) is a big home favorite over Tennessee on Saturday afternoon on CBS. The Bulldogs have been good against the spread as of late, covering the spread in six of their previous nine games. Georgia has one of the best defenses in college football and should be able to hold Tennessee under 20 points. If they are able to accomplish that, look for the offense to score into the 30s and to ultimately cover this double-digit spread.
Over/Under (O/U)
The total for this SEC matchup is set at 43.5 points. It’s worth noting that the total has now gone Over in six of the last eight meetings between these two teams. However, Georgia’s defense has been dominant at home lately, as the Under has now hit in five-straight games at Sanford Stadium. Look for this game to have a slower pace, but for Georgia to ultimately score near 30 points, allowing the OVER 43.5 (-106) to hit.
