re: Georgia "projected as 10.5 Point Favorite over Tennessee"

You lost half your starters and its somehow a better roster? Cool, cool

You’re right in spirit, we did lose 15 guys to the NFL and guys that wanted to start and could elsewhere. It wasn’t half the roster, but we did lose guys. So did the Vols. But Georgia has also recruited much better than Tennessee and not in isolation. UGA is the only team in the country not to add a player in the portal. You know why? Bc they didn’t have to.

Tennessee looks great. They may win in a few weeks. But as to the original premise:

They are clearly better at home than on the road (as are most teams).

They don’t have the roster UGA has

UGA is a double digit home favorite at home.

And it is demonstrably stupid to suggest UT is scoring 58 in Athens when they scored 27 in regulation at Pitt and 40 in a noon game at LSU. And UGA has recruited, developed players, and executed on defense better than any team in the country over the last 5 years. And are #2 in scoring defense nationally this year.
