Tennessee vs Georgia football: Expert picks and predictions

The UGA Wire staff presents their weekly Georgia football score, stat and game predictions ahead of Saturday’s matchup against Tennessee.

The No. 14 Tennessee Volunteers (2-0, 2-0) travel to Athens this week to face off against the No. 3 Georgia Bulldogs (2-0, 2-0).

Tennessee has been red hot under third-year head coach Jeremy Pruitt.  The Vols have won eight consecutive games dating back to last season.  They are coming off an impressive 35-12 win over the Missouri Tigers.

Georgia looked playoff ready last week against Auburn, beating them by a score of 27-6.  The Dawgs defense was absolutely lockdown against Auburn quarterback Bo Nix and crew, allowing only two field goals the entire game out of the Tigers.

Saturday’s matchup should be a good one in between the hedges.  Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 EDT and will be aired on CBS
