The Georgia Bulldogs have won the last two national College Football Playoff national championships and they've moved back into the No. 1 spot in the CFP rankings after earning a 52-17 win over a top-10 team (Ole Miss) last week. Now they'll have another ranked opponent on their hands as they travel to take on the No. 18 Tennessee Volunteers in an SEC on CBS matchup on Saturday. Tennessee is riding a 14-game home winning streak into Saturday's contest but is coming off a 36-7 loss to Missouri that ended their SEC East title pursuits and likely knocked them out of New Year's Six bowl contention.
Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET at Neyland Stadium, where Tennessee knocked off No. 3 Alabama as a 9-point underdog last season. Now the Bulldogs are 9.5-point favorites in the Tennessee vs. Georgia odds via SportsLine consensus, while the over/under is 59.

Why Tennessee can cover
The Volunteers are coming off a 36-7 drubbing at the hands of Missouri but they've been much more comfortable at home all season. They're 4-1 against the spread at home in 2023 and are 11-3 against the spread during their current 14-game home winning streak.
After leading the nation in scoring last season with a high-powered passing attack, Tennessee is a more run-dependent team in 2023. They're averaging 213.3 rushing yards per game and are a perfect 7-0 when they've topped 200 yards on the ground. The Tennessee run defense has also been solid for the most part, holding six opponents under 100 yards and winning in all six of those matchups. See picks at SportsLine.
Why Georgia can cover
Georgia is coming off its best performance of the season against Ole Miss, putting up 611 yards of total offense in the process. Carson Beck threw for 306 yards and two touchdowns and is on pace to break Stetson Bennett's single-season passing record from last season with 3,022 yards over his first 10 games. The Bulldogs also rushed for 300 yards as a team, with Kendall Milton leading the way with 127 yards and two touchdowns.
This SEC East rivalry has been dominated by Georgia of late, with the Bulldogs winning the last six games in the series and covering the spread five times during that span. Georgia has won those six games by an average margin of 26.2 points and the Bulldogs were the last team to defeat Tennessee in Knoxville with a 41-17 win as 19.5-point favorites in 2021.
