Tennessee vs Georgia

We’re treated to a big match up in the SEC early on Saturday with two 2-1 teams doing battle between the hedges as the Tennessee Volunteers will travel on the road to take on the Georgia Bulldogs. Tennessee is coming off their first loss of the season two weeks ago to Oklahoma, while Georgia is coming off a 66-0 win last week over Troy.

Keys to Victory

This has a good chance to be a statement game for Butch Jones and the Volunteers, but the most important part will be tightening up on the defensive side of the ball, especially against the run. The Vols gave up 146 yards on the ground to Oklahoma two weeks ago, and with all due respect to the Sooners’ backs, Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall are significantly better.

And as for Georgia, well, as mentioned above, if they can get Gurley and Marshall to control this one against that young Tennessee defense, then they should actually walk away with this one pretty easily.

Betting Odds

Point Spread: Georgia -17

Moneyline: Tennessee +550, Georgia -800

O/U: 55.5

Prediction

Since the arrival of Butch Jones and watching the way that he is conducting this program, everyone is just waiting to see the Vols return to prominence. A win over this very talented Georgia team on Saturday would be the biggest win in the short tenure of Jones thus far.

But it won’t happen.

The rushing attack of Georgia will prove to be too much in the end for this young Tennessee defense.

Final Score: Georgia 42, Tennessee 28
