Tennessee (-3) over Georgia, Saturday 2:30 PM (CT), Sanford Stadium

Has there been a quicker turn around than the Vols comeback against Florida last week? After the first half, the Tennessee fan base was ready to declare the Vols dead and were prepping to run Butch Jones out-of-town. However, something miraculous happened: the Vols and QB Josh Dobbs finally looked like the team that received so much preseason hype in the offseason! The Vols torched a Florida defense that has been stifling all season. Now the Vols turn their attention to Georgia, where a win could go a long ways toward booking a trip to Atlanta for the SEC Championship.

The Bulldogs enter with their tails tucked between their legs after being completely dominated by Ole Miss. It’s clear that Georgia has real issues along the offensive line along with a lack of playmakers at receiver. Since week one, Nick Chubb has been a non-factor. The Bulldogs desperately need Chubb to get going, but I don’t see it happening this week unless the O-line can improve dramatically. The Vols look to have finally found their stride on offense and I expect them to continue to improve. The Bulldogs will hang around until the 4th quarter due to it being played in Athens, but Tennessee will ultimately pull away. Tennessee 31, Georgia 20
