Tennessee vs. Georgia Prediction:
Take the under 46.5 points in this matchup. Both teams have top 20 defenses in points allowed per game, with the Vols allowing 13.8 points per game and Georgia allowing 20.4 points per game. The Bulldogs allow just 3.4 yards per rush attempt and should be able to slow Dylan Sampson down. The Vols are averaging just 24.5 points per game in conference play and that got a boost after they dropped 33 points on the 2-8 Bulldogs last week. The Georgia Bulldogs only managed 10 points last week against Ole Miss and Carson Beck continues to struggle this season. In SEC conference games this season, he has 10 passing touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. This should be a very hard fought game where both offenses struggle against two great defenses.
Tennessee vs. Georgia Prediction: Under 46.5
