Georgia–Tennessee Showdown: Line Tightens as Vols Lose Key Defenders

Analyst picks are split, with computer models leaning Georgia after two tune‑ups for both teams.

Overview

  • Tennessee will be without starting corner Jermod McCoy and linebacker Boo Carter, and defensive tackle Jaxson Moi is listed as questionable, per pregame reports.
  • Kickoff is Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET on ABC at Neyland Stadium, with ESPN College GameDay broadcasting from Ayres Hall Lawn in Knoxville.
  • Betting opened higher on Georgia but has shifted to roughly Bulldogs -3.5 to -4 after early sharp action on the Volunteers, according to Caesars Sports.
  • Georgia has won eight straight in the series, all by at least 14 points, a trend that frames expectations despite roster turnover.
  • Some high-profile analysts (including Rick Neuheisel and Greg McElroy) have forecast a Tennessee upset, whereas outlets and models such as CBS Sports and SportsLine back Georgia to win and cover.
