Georgia vs. Tennessee Predictions & Pick
Tennessee’s offense is No. 2 in the nation in both scoring (47.1) and yards (533) per game vs. FBS foes, but Georgia moved to No. 1 this week averaging 537 YPG, and both teams passing attacks are close as well averaging 333 YPG (TEN) and 324 (GEO). But it’s Georgia that has the dominant defense allowing just 12.0 PPG and 282 yards per game – 112 YPG less than the Vols’ defense.
But Tennessee has played a stronger schedule and showed they are on even terms and better than the top teams with wins over Alabama and Florida, plus one-sided wins over Kentucky last week and at LSU. Georgia allowed 371 yards to Florida last week on a neutral field in a 42-20 win, and also allowed 22 points to both Kentucky and Missouri. The Volunteers should still get their share of points, but will it be enough to win or stay within one score?
Tennessee has lost the last four meetings vs Georgia by an average of 26 points per game.
FINAL SCORE PREDICTION: Georgia 33, Tennessee 27

Tennessee vs Georgia Best Bet
All college football betting lines, odds and prop bets are available on FanDuel Sportsbook.
Tennessee has beaten five ranked teams this season including a 52-49 tear-down-the-goalposts thriller over then No. 1 Alabama. The Volunteers’ pass defense is still most vulnerable allowing 300 passing yards per game against FBS foes, while Georgia allows just 187 and has the speed and players to slow the Vols’ prolific, fast-paced pass attack led by star QB Hendon Hooker.
The College Football Playoff rankings came out this week and Tennessee is No. 1 while Georgia is No. 3. The Bulldogs are better in yards per play margin (No. 3 vs No. 5), and No. 1 in yards per game margin at +268 per game vs +159 for Tennessee. Georgia also ranks No. 1 in Red Zone Offense and No. 2 in Red Zone Defense. But again, the Vols have played a stronger schedule and this is by far the best offense the Bulldogs have faced this season.
THE BET: Under 65.5 (-110)
