Do you honestly believe that any of the 4 teams that UMass lost to prior to Saturday, have anywhere near the talent that UT currently has on its roster?

Old Dominion and Coastal Carolina are tougher than they used to be.

I thought it would be more.

Sounds about right to me. 3 points for home field, so that means the line would be Georgia -10 at a neutral site or Georgia -13 in Athens.

7 is a key number, so I wouldn't expect it moving a whole lot. Maybe Georgia -7.5 at kickoff.

wmcovol said it would open 7 and its opened 7

he also says Tennessee better defend the TEs of Ga. Their game plan will use their TEs as big play receivers in this game.

I cant bring myself to bet against the Vols but taking the Dawgs to cover seems easy money

Lately betting against the vols has been a good bet. Just like the later Fulmer years. We've only covered 3 times in the last 10 games.

In the last six matchups, neither team won by more than 8 points, and I expect the same this week. Butch Jones may lose his job if he does not compete in this contest. Expect a different Vols team next week against a team they boast success against, at least in the last two seasons . . .

Yep. Hate to say it, but I'm betting on UGA to cover and I think it's easy money. Ridiculously easy money.

I still have my doubts that Kirby Smart was an upgrade over Mark Richt, and I admit that may be wishful thinking on my part. Get back with me on Saturday evening about how dominant of a team these Bulldogs are.

I've seen several coaches come and go since Dooley. None match Kirby for intensity and winning attitude. Richt was a good coordinator but not a great leader. Our D is the toughest and fastest it's been in many, many years. Our O is full of speed and play makers.

Not saying we couldn't slip up, but it would surprise me if we did, unlike previous years.

Smart>>>>Richt

Our fanbase is pretty fragile right now. If UGa comes out of the gate strong and takes the crowd out of the game, it could get nasty. If Tennessee sticks around for a while and can give hope, it might be interesting.

Vols won on a hail mary last yr and have had more talent the past two seasons. GA in my opinion has much more talent on the field this year especially at QB and their entire defense.

Convenient how folks forget that Georgia took the lead with their own Hail Mary with 19 seconds left in the game.


Good thing the players on this team don't give up as quickly and easily the so called fans

Vegas has a dispassionate eye when it comes to forecasting. One thing that leaps off the page about UGA's offense is RB Chubb does not have the stats through four games that Kelly does. Against Notre Dame, 63 total yards rushing, in a beat down against Miss State he had 81 yards rushing, he's not averaging a 100 yards per game through a third of the season where Kelly is. There is something amiss in UGA's offense, does UT understand what it is and can they take advantage of it? Vegas says they can't by at least 7 points, but UGA based on playing so far should be a 2 TD favorite IMO. They know something the rest of us don't, bet this one very carefully.

UGA has 6 scholarship tailbacks. 4 play a lot. Chubb only has 59 carries in 4 games. Kelly has 81. Chubb averages 6.2 yards/carry, Kelly averages 5.56.

UT averages 155 yards/game rushing, UGA averages 223.

Only 7 it should be more because if we continue to play the way we have been it won't be pretty. Then it is time to show Blotch Jones the door(maybe bring the moving van like they did with Bill Battle who was a winning coach!!!
