Bookies.com: Bet Tennessee with the points vs Georgia
Bill Speros writes: “Tennessee hung a 72-burger on East Tennessee Saturday. Georgia took it easier on Austin Peay. This is when CBS really starts to feel the loss of the SEC. A Tennessee upset would put the Vols in the subject line of the playoff discussion. Georgia remains the closest program to a college football dynasty in this era. Asking the Dawgs to cover a 7-point line at Neyland Stadium is something else entirely.”

The site gives the Bulldogs a 48.5% shot at winning the college football Week 3 game over the Volunteers on Sept. 13.
Bill Bender writes: “Will the Vols finally knock off the Bulldogs? Georgia has dominated this series under Kirby Smart, and Gunner Stockton has been turnover-free through two starts. Tennessee quarterback Joey Aguilar will attack a Georgia defense that has a nasty look again. Georgia has won the last four meetings at Neyland Stadium by an average of 30.5 points. Imagine the celebration if the Vols can pull this off.”

James Morgan writes: “Georgia and Tennessee both have teams capable of making a College Football Playoff run. Tennessee quarterback Joey Aguilar looks better than Nico Iamaleava did for the Vols, but I just can’t predict Tennessee to beat Georgia with the way the series has gone in recent seasons. This is a golden opportunity for Tennessee with it being Gunner Stockton’s first road start and Georgia a little beat up along the offensive line.”
