The Vols are seeking their first win over the Bulldogs since winning on a Hail Mary in 2016.

Why Georgia can cover
Georgia is coming off a road loss at Ole Miss, marking just its second season with two losses since 2020. The Bulldogs are looking to avoid consecutive losses for the first time since head coach Kirby Smart's first season in 2016, and they are trying to keep their College Football Playoff hopes alive. They have not lost to Tennessee since 2016, winning each of the last seven meetings by 14-plus points.
The Bulldogs cruised to a 38-10 win last season, easily covering the spread as 9-point road favorites. Senior quarterback Carson Beck has 2,488 passing yards and 17 touchdowns, while junior running back Trevor Etienne has 477 rushing yards and seven scores. Georgia has won 28 consecutive home games, with its last loss in Athens coming against South Carolina in 2019. See which team to pick here.
Why Tennessee can cover
Tennessee suffered its lone loss at Arkansas in early October, but it has rattled off four straight wins since then to get back on track for a College Football Playoff spot. The Vols beat Florida in overtime before taking down then-No. 7 Alabama in their following game. They have added double-digit wins over Kentucky and Mississippi State, generating momentum heading into the biggest game left on their schedule.
Quarterback Nico Iamaleava left last week's game with a head injury, but he was removed from the injury report on Friday after initially being listed as questionable. The Vols can lean heavily on their defense, which has yet to allow 20 points in a game. Georgia's 10 points scored last week was its lowest total since 2021, and Beck is tied with an FBS-high 12 interceptions this season, including nine in his last four games.
