Tennessee vs Georgia Prediction
The Georgia Bulldogs don't lose at home and are still a good team, but this line is showing too much respect. Georgia has underachieved for much of the season, which includes recently barely beating Florida's backups and getting smoked by Ole Miss. Tennessee is arguably the most balanced team in the SEC, with an elite defense and a high-scoring offense. We haven't seen Tennessee as a double-digit underdog since November 2021. This line shows Georgia too much respect. Give me the Vols and the points.
