Nico has been playing better of late, Beck playing worse. And both of our defenses are way better than any of the 5 teams on this list.

You are underestimating just how bad our offensive line, and just offense as a whole, are. It will be the same narrative as every year… close game to the half, defense gets tired mid third, GA tacks another 7-10

It’s -8.5, where did this -16.5 nonsense come from? A preseason line?

If Beck throws three interceptions and Nico plays as good as he has been since the second half of Alabama, Vols roll even being on the road.

Vols should have blown the doors off Kentucky if not for all the dropped passes. Nico played a damn near flawless game for the first time in his career at Tennessee.

Beck is a very mediocre QB who was made to look much better than he is by throwing to Bowers and Mchonkey.

If this game was in Neyland it wouldn't be a contest imo. UGA isn't playing defense nor offense at an elite level right now.

Guess who's been leading the country in dropped passes all season

Our WRs have been extremely disappointing this season. Thornton, Squirrel and Brazelle are all overrated until proven otherwise. I see flashes from Brazelle and Thornton but nothing consistent.

Our most talented guy Mike Matthews can't seem to find the field probably because his blocking isn't good enough yet.

The only consistent guy is Bru McCoy who lacks real game breaking speed but makes up for it with sheer power and determination.

Has Heupel beat Kirby and Georgia lately? Plus, Tennessee losing to Arkansas was a bad loss.

Early season road game with a freshman QB. You are looking way too much into that one. Nico and our oline have turned a corner since the second half of the Bama game.

Heupel teams are usually not great on the road though. Athens will be a tall task.

That's insanely high. I'd be mostly worried about UGA's lackluster offense versus that defense

Spread is higher than the WLOCP.

But with home field adv, that usually is about 3 points, so I guess it's pretty much the same with that factor.

It's because of Heupel's lackluster track record on the road and us having a freshman QB and inconsistent WRs.

I think it's a fair spread considering those things honestly, but i also think we are very well capable of blowing UGA out and wouldn't be the least bit surprised if we do. Nico is getting much sharper and gaining confidence quickly these past few games.

I agree. I've been saying someone is going to take an early strong lead on us & since this team can't score until halftime, we won't be able to scratch our way back into the game. It seems a little high but wouldn't totally surprise me.

That 16.5 is a troll post without actually being a troll post. Find me a legit sports book actually listing Tennessee as a 16.5 dog and I’ll wager 50K and post a pic of it here.

Go to www.cbssports.com and go to NCAA FB then odds and stroll down to Nov. 16th to the Tennessee-Georgia game. You can find that easily. There are different betting line odds from different betting sites right next to each other. Please don't do something stupid! You never know what will happen this weekend. Might there be some serious injury. I would rather wait until closer to game time to make sure the key players are going to be playing the game.

I think Tennessee managed to win outright but that line is not too surprising.

Both teams are capable of blowing each other out, but UGA has homefield advantage which is probably good for at least six false starts by our oline and a few extra holding calls unless they play their game of the year.

Our oline tends to crap the bed under Heupel on the road.

Our defense will tee off against Beck though. Probably going to be a very low scoring game truth be known.
