Tennessee has not lost a home game this season, but it is coming off a 36-7 loss to then-No. 14 Missouri. The Bulldogs clinched the SEC East title last week, and they are on track for a third straight national championship.

Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS at Neyland Stadium. The Bulldogs are 9.5-point favorites in the latest Georgia vs. Tennessee odds via SportsLine consensus, while the over/under is 59.

Why Georgia can cover

Tennessee has lost three SEC games by double digits, and it is coming off its worst performance of the season. The Vols were 2-point road favorites in their blowout loss at Missouri, allowing all 36 points in the final three quarters. They have not beat a ranked team this season, and Georgia has won five of its last six games at Neyland Stadium.

The Bulldogs have covered the spread in six of the last seven meetings between these teams, including a 27-13 win last season. They are playing their best football of the season, racking up 628 total yards in their 52-17 win over Ole Miss last week. Junior quarterback Carson Beck continues to play well, passing for 3,022 yards, 18 touchdowns and just five interceptions, going over 300 passing yards in five of his last seven games. See which team to pick at SportsLine

Why Tennessee can cover

Being able to move the ball on the ground is key as an underdog, and Tennessee has the chance to do that. The Vols rank second in the SEC with 213.3 yards per game of rushing. Four players -- running backs Jaylen Wright, Dylan Sampson and Jabari Small along with quarterback Joe Milton -- all have at least 300 yards on the ground this season.

Tennessee is undefeated both straight up and against the spread this season against FBS foes. Georgia, meanwhile, is just 1-2 ATS on the road and looked sloppy at times at Vanderbilt and at Auburn, so there's no guarantee that the Bulldogs will be in dominant form in this one. See which team to back at SportsLine.
