The week before the UT game UGA scored 10 points against Ole Miss, two weeks later UGA was losing 20-6 to start the fourth quarter against Georgie Tech and should have lost the game. But for whatever reason between those two games UT could not stop them, they scored 31 with wide open tight ends on a lot of plays. They other games, nothing most of the game. Why? No idea, but they show up every year for UT.

A touchdown. Maybe a little aging GA clout here, and we obviously don’t have a great recent history with them, but does a full 7 surprise anyone? Based on this young season thus far I was looking for more like 4.

Bobo has figured out a way to expose of LB’s inability to cover their TE’s. I hope this year is different with our more athletic LB’s but if we let them run wide open like the last two seasons I expect the same end result.

I think our defensive backfield is more athletic this year and should be able to adjust to this I hope. If not it will be a long day for the VOLS.

I think it will be a close game and the team that doesn’t turn the ball over wins.

Georgia has YEARS worth of piled on talent. Kirby and Bobo are overrated baboons, but it’s slap hard to beat all that stinkin raw talent. What’s the best that can happen Saturday?

I think playing at home almost evens things out. They've only got 2 game films on Joey Ball, so i feel better about this year beating them than years past. If our coaches study game film on Georgia, and prep our squad, I think we can beat them . Of course , we can't get injured like we did playing Syracuse

How is that smart apart from appealing to the past? Georgia has looked bad through 2 games. Which is atypical. They also are breaking in a new QB who doesn't look very good as a passer. We're at home and have looked as explosive on offense as we have in 2 years. And we're at home where the last time we lost was in 2023.

If you simply look at this season thus far and remove your preconceived notions going into the year, Tennessee has a good chance to win. That means a full touchdown dog is unwarranted. Georgia being the favorite is fine by 7 is way too many points.

If you know anything about Vegas opening at -7 was to get the money where they want it. As you mentioned earlier it will go down through the week to even the money out.

Given our depth and defense I think it’s spot on.

UGA has had a lot of success on defense playing against our offense. This will be a challenge for our team.

If I was UGA, my defensive game plan is going to be to pressure JA every play. His worst season came when he was under pressure. So I would try to make him hurry and make quick decisions.

Keeping our running game performing at a high level and winning 1:1 battles at WR with short throws going for long gains will be key to keeping the ball and slowing UGA down.

Will be interesting to see how this game unfolds. What I do know is don’t bet that this week’s UGA performance has anything at all to do to next week’s performance.

I think a full TD is a clout spread to some extent. I understand it’s Georgia, but they’ve looked pretty vanilla on offense so far haven’t they? Unless Kirby’s holding a lot back, I like our chances. If they don’t put up more than 24 I think we get the Dub.

He is being vanilla. This has been their MO every year. Look vulnerable in early games, then turn it on for conference play.

When we finally beat Bama and Florida at home we have been able to continue beating them at home. Hopefully this year is the start of that happening with Georgia.

Think Tennessee will still be able run on Georgia enough keep us balanced enough… don’t care how young we are. Talented group , fixing get even better when sanders moves in this group . Jesse Perry is playing like. All sec lineman right now. Watch him

Agee, if we can run it effectively, the key word, then Heuple will have a chance to control the game. Not sure if Joey slinging it all over the field is a good idea with GA's DB's. Hope that's wrong as I would love to put 40 pts on them.

It’s been at 6.5 for two weeks on DraftKings.

TD from the money guys sounds about right.
I could see it being 4 to 5 by kickoff since it's home games and the polls are now out...more folks going to bet on UT since moved up in the polls.

I'm betting that now,before things change. Being orange blooded I'll bet Tennessee straight up to win in knoxville. If I'm still alive in two years I'll bet my house Tennessee wins big.

I think 6.5 is about right. I actually doubt it will shift as low as some said here.

The main reason is in the trenches. Regardless of QB play, they out match us there. Their OL is big and experienced, and we have struggled against them every year. Their DL is also big and mean, and Kirby will have the stunts dialed up to get home on Aguilar.

It all comes down to our OL and RB pass pro. Give Aguilar time and he can work those DBs. Our passing schemes have evolved enough to cause some issues over the air for UGA, but Aguilar will need time and a good pocket.
