The betting odds highlight the Bulldogs as the favorites at home with a -10 point spread. Despite the Volunteers’ strong season record, the odds reflect historical challenges they’ve faced against Georgia, particularly in recent matchups. The total set at 48.5 suggests expectations of a relatively high-scoring affair, aligning with the offensive capabilities of both teams.
Gaston Moore QB vs. Carson Beck QB
Gaston Moore is another piece in the puzzle for Tennessee’s success this season, throwing in 201 yards on a 64 percent completion rate in his latest games. He demonstrates potential in playmaking, with a longer throw at 53 yards and a 141.9 passer rating. But he’s also quite prone to interceptions—yielding 2 this season—and that could be worrying when dealing with a strong Georgia defense.
On the other hand, the Bulldogs have Carson Beck who has impressive stats of 2,488 yards on passing and a completion rate of 65.4 percent. He has experience in the games and scores well as he has contributed to 17 touchdowns this season and has effective ball distribution. But he also had 12 interceptions and was sacked 14 times for a total loss of 100 yards, and those could also be areas of Tennessee’s pressure points.
Their fight on the field is going to be an interesting one. As Moore and Beck face off, their contrasting styles will undoubtedly influence the game’s uses. Moore’s explosive downfield passes will put the Bulldogs’ secondary to the test while Beck has shown consistency and a higher volume of passing that will be an issue for the Volunteers’ defense. The key to the game is likely to be the quarterback’s ability to deliver on the big moments in the game and preserve possession of the ball.
Tennessee’s Ground and Air Attack
Dylan Sampson has emerged as Tennessee’s aggressive force, standing tall with 20 touchdowns and 1,129 rushing yards. His 5.6 yards per carry gives the Volunteers a reliable first down. In a similar vein, Bru McCoy has also aided the offense with 357 receiving yards, even though he has not scored any touchdowns so far. heir last five games, where they defeated Mississippi State, Kentucky, and Alabama, losing only once to Arkansas, highlight their ability to control both the tempo of the game and the clock.
Georgia’s Balanced Offensive Threat
Trevor Etienne has been a steady ball carrier for Georgia with 7 touchdowns and a 5 ypc average. Beck can also utilize Arian Smith, who has tallied 535 yards and 3 touchdowns in receptions. Their earlier matches indicate a good mix of the aerial and ground game, having won crucial games against Florida Gators and Texas Longhorns, while suffering a close defeat to Mississippi, indicating a strong team with good adaptability to different game plans.

Tennessee Volunteers vs. Georgia Bulldogs Betting Prediction
Based on all these factors, especially the historical trends, this game works out to be more suited for the Bulldogs covering the spread as home-team dominance and past history clear suggests betting on Georgia. That said, the level of fight Tennessee has shown this year, at least in their attitude, is remarkable as well. Given the trends in defense and the ability to make appropriate plays when it counts, there is a possibility of placing the under wager on the total points scored, especially taking into account the last matches played by the teams against strong opponents.
This forecast accounts for Georgia’s performance at home as well as Tennessee’s record in games where they have to perform a little more than they usually do. This game has the potential for live betting opportunities if Tennessee is able to stay within a few scores of Georgia and some situations arise that can be capitalized on.
Score Prediction: Georgia Bulldogs 27, Tennessee Volunteers 17.
