Georgia (9-0, 7-0 SEC) continues to cruise along on its way to the SEC Championship game and casually thumped Missouri for a 43-6 victory in Athens last Saturday. The Dawgs had both Stetson Bennett and JT Daniels throwing passes in the blowout while their defense shut yet another opponent out of the end zone in this one.

Tennessee (5-4, 3-3 SEC) is now within reaching distance of bowl eligibility and it shook off a two-game losing streak when out-dueling Kentucky in a 45-42 shootout last Saturday night in Lexington. Quarterback Hendon Hooker was extremely efficient, going 15-20 through the air for 316 yards and four touchdowns in the victory. He leads the SEC in QBR at 190.0, having thrown for 1,894 yards, 21 touchdowns, and two interceptions.

The Pick

Over 53.5

Tennessee poses as the best offense Georgia will probably face throughout the entirety of the regular season. While it’s a tall order to ask them to pull off the outright upset in Neyland, they have the capability of putting a few touchdowns on the board on a chilly day in Knoxville. That combined with the usual scoring barrage that UGA is capable of should be enough to trigger the over.
