5 units UGA -3 @ Tennessee
I know what your eyes have told you so far this season. UGA has looked pedestrian on offense. Gunner can’t throw the ball past the line of scrimmage….Jeez Tennessee scored 72 on ETSU so Joey Aguilar might be a heisman contender. This is on the road at Neyland Stadium. On top of that the betting market has adjusted this number down from -7 to -3.5 or -3 in some books. Every Commentator on YouTube, espn, etc all are taking the Vols…Kirby is washed…Well I like to Zing when everyone is Zanging. I call bs on this narrative. This line was -8.5 a few months ago. Kirby has owned Josh Heupel, limiting the Vols to 17 or less in every matchup between these two coaches. This run and shoot offense can be shut down if you can stop the run with a light box. Did you see the physical freaks that Georgia has in its defensive front 7? In addition, they have 3-4 top 2 round future DBs on this roster. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Georgia will boa constrictor their way to a convincing, low scoring win 27-17. I’m buying this to -3 now before this moves back to -4 or 4.5.
