Dunkel Pick: Tennessee (+8); Under
There are some massive games on the Week 10 college football schedule, but none bigger than the game set to take place in the SEC. The top-ranked Tennessee Volunteers are set to take on number three Georgia in a massive matchup on Saturday afternoon.
Tennessee has been one of the biggest surprises this season, but they have passed every single test along the way. The Volunteers already upset the Alabama Crimson Tide this season, and they are looking for another massive upset.
Georgia has been at the top of the polls nearly all season long, but they aren’t the top seed in the first College Football Playoff ranking. The Bulldogs are the defending champions, and they have backed that up with a perfect start to the year.
The Georgia Bulldogs are eight-point betting favorites over the Tennessee Volunteers in this huge SEC showdown.
Volunteers Are Explosive
The Tennessee Volunteers have a ton of offensive weapons, and they have been using them to jump out to this perfect start this season. Quarterback Hendon Hooker might be in line for the Heisman Trophy this season, and he has plenty of weapons at his disposal.
Hooker has thrown for over 2,300 yards and 21 touchdowns this season, and he can also make plays with his legs. Tennessee has shown that they have plenty of talent at the wide receiver position, and that group will impact this game.
The Volunteers have given up 21.0 points per game this season, and that could be a bit of a concern in this one.
Georgia Looking to Defend
Georgia comes into this game with the second-best defense in the country, as they are allowing just 10.5 points per game. The Bulldogs are completely shutting down the run this season, but it’s their secondary that will be tested in this game.
Quarterback Stetson Bennett is having a big year as well, as he has thrown for 2,349 yards but just nine touchdowns. Georgia is going to challenge the Tennessee defensive line with its rushing attack, and they usually wear opponents down.
The Bulldogs are good enough on offense to win this one, but it’s the defense that can really set the tone. If Georgia is able to get pressure on Hooker, then they could take over this game.
Tennessee Takes Down Georgia
It’s not as if the Georgia Bulldogs don’t have a terrific offense, but they are not going to be able to keep pace with Tennessee in this game. Hendon Hooker and the Volunteers are just so explosive on offense that it’s had to keep up with them for four quarters.
Playing at home is going to be a huge advantage to the Bulldogs, but the Volunteers aren’t going to be afraid to play in front of a hostile crowd. Tennessee is coming into this game with something to prove, and they also have the momentum to carry them to a win in this one.
Bet the Tennessee Volunteers moneyline on Saturday afternoon as they take down the Georgia Bulldogs for a huge SEC win.
