Georgia at Tennessee odds, picks and predictions
The Georgia Bulldogs (10-0, 7-0 SEC) and Tennessee Volunteers (7-3, 3-3) meet Saturday at Arizona Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's lines around the Georgia vs. Tennessee odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
The Bulldogs moved back to No. 1 in the College Football Playoff rankings after last week's 52-17 throttling of Ole Miss, their 2nd straight win over a ranked foe. Georgia covered the 11-point number, but it has alternated covers and non-covers in the past 6 outings.
The Volunteers were embarrassed 36-7 on the road against Missouri last weekend, and Tennessee is just 2-2 straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS) across the past 4 outings. The losses are both against ranked opponents, with victories and covers against lowly UConn and unranked Kentucky during the span. The Over has cashed in 3 of the past 4 games.
Georgia is No. 1 and Tennessee is No. 19 in the US LBM Coaches Poll powered by Paste BN Sports.

Georgia at Tennessee picks and predictions
Prediction
Georgia 41, Tennessee 27
Moneyline
Top-ranked Georgia (-375) will cost you nearly 4 times your potential return, and that's quite a bit of risk for not enough reward.
While Tennessee (+280) looked awful last week against Mizzou, a team the Dawgs handled just 2 weeks ago between the hedges, you can't eat that much chalk. Over the long term it's a poor betting strategy.
PASS.
Against the spread
Roll with GEORGIA -9.5 (-110), as it is a great value as a single-digit favorite. Tennessee +9.5 (-110) has fallen off lately, especially against ranked opponents.
The Bulldogs haven't been a single-digit favorite all season. In their most recent regular-season game as favorites of 10 or fewer points, they won 27-13 as 9.5-point favorites. That was against Tennessee on Nov. 5 last season.
Over/Under
OVER 58.5 (-110) is a strong play in this SEC East battle.
The Over has cashed in 6 of the past 7 games overall for Georgia, with the offense putting up 30 or more points in 5 straight games, and 8 of 10 games overall. The defense has not been terrible, but it isn't as good as years past. The Bulldogs have allowed 17 or more points in 4 straight games, and 6 of the past 7 outings.
The Vols have hit the Over in 3 of the past 4 outings, while allowing 27 or more points in 3 of the past 4, as well.
