Who's winning the Georgia vs. Tennessee game?
Georgia is the road favorite in this one at -3.5. There are very few teams that can head to Knoxville and be the betting favorite. Despite Georgia's dominance of the last decade against Tennessee, its QB Gunnar Stockton has just 3 career starts, and this will be his first-ever true road start. And boy, did he get a tough matchup. I like the high-flying Tennessee defense to set the tone in this one and rattle the inexperienced QB to get the upset win.
