The battle for supremacy in the SEC East takes place Saturday as the No. 3 Georgia Bulldogs host the top-ranked Tennessee Volunteers. Georgia (8-0, 5-0 SEC) has a 26-23-2 edge in the all-time series but is riding a five-game winning streak in the all-time series, posting each victory by a minimum of 23 points -- including a 41-17 triumph in Knoxville last season. Tennessee (8-0, 4-0) has won only two of the last 12 matchups, with the last victory coming by three points on the road in 2016. The Bulldogs defeated Florida 42-20 last weekend, while the Volunteers rolled past then-No. 19 Kentucky 44-6 last time out.

Kickoff at Sanford Stadium in Athens, Ga. is set for 3:30 p.m. ET. The Bulldogs are 9-point favorites in the latest Georgia vs. Tennessee odds from Caesars Sportsbook, while the over/under for total points scored is 65.

Why Georgia can cover

The Bulldogs registered four rushing touchdowns in last year's victory against Tennessee and have a strong chance to at least match that total on Saturday. Georgia is first in the nation with 28 TDs on the ground, with Daijun Edwards leading the charge with eight. The junior running back has recorded all eight of the scores over his last four games, including a pair in the triumph over the Gators last week.

Kenny McIntosh has run for six touchdowns, matching his total from the previous three seasons. The senior recorded one of his three TDs in 2021 against the Volunteers. After going three straight games without a scoring pass, senior quarterback Stetson Bennett has thrown two in each of his last two outings and is coming off his fourth 300-yard passing performance of the year as he threw for 316 against Florida.

Why Tennessee can cover 

Georgia leads the nation with only two rushing touchdowns allowed this season, but it now faces a Volunteers team that is among the best at scoring on the ground. Tennessee is tied for third in the country with 26 rushing TDs and has five players that have run for at least four scores. Junior running back Jabari Small tops the club with eight while sophomore Jaylen Wright has recorded five.

Wright is first on the Bulldogs with 478 rushing yards -- only three more than Small, who also has a pair of touchdown catches. Junior wideout Jalin Hyatt has been senior quarterback Hendon Hooker's favorite target as he is fourth in the country in receiving yards (907) and first in TD receptions (14). Hyatt has been unstoppable over his last three games, hauling in 18 passes for 519 yards and nine scores.
