Haven read the whole thread, but as an objective observer from LSU, a few thoughts:

1) Georgia is getting healthy and playing in Athens

2) UT is also getting healthier, but not quite as much as Georgia

3) the transitive property is meaningless/-every game is it’s own entity

4) That said, I think Tenner’s win at Pitt in OT was a nice win early in the season coming off a 7-5 season

5) Both teams finally beating Bama in close games got that monkey off their backs and should give them both confidence going into this game. They’ve erased that doubt that has tended to creep in when they’re in a close game with teams who’ve owned them recently and won’t be intimidated by the uniforms lined up against them

6) It looks to be a really good matchup that could wind up close. Or either team could win by 10-14 points and I wouldn’t be shocked

7) Georgia felt like a special team of kind of destiny last year

8) Tennessee has that sane kind of feeling this year

9) Gun to my head, I’d take Georgia. They’re at home and have played in many more bigger “all or nothing” games recently.

10) But 24-year/old Hokker might just be that motherfricker

11) Easier to play lose as the underdog than the defending national champs

12) That line at 9.5 or 11.5 is really stinky. Seems way too good to be true. I wouldn’t touch it on either side.

13) If UT loses a close game in Athens, then Bama wins a close game against Georgia in Atanta in the SECCG, then you’ve got 3 1-loss teams who’ve all beat each other.

14) That line seems crazy high. I couldn’t bring myself to play it. I think Georgia wins, but expect a close game that should be a toss up.
