Tennessee -11½ over Georgia

Thompson-Boling Arena – Knoxville, TN

8:00 PM ET. Let’s set the stage here. Tennessee comes into this game off two wildly contrasting performances: a 30-point humiliation at the hands of Florida, followed by a gritty, unimpressive four-point win over Texas. That loss to Florida wasn’t just a defeat—it was a complete dismantling of a Volunteers team that had been sitting at #1 not long ago. The optics here? Tennessee looks shaky, and the market knows it.

Georgia, on the other hand, is enjoying a Cinderella run. The Dawgs are ranked for the first time since 2011 after back-to-back wins over ranked opponents, Kentucky and Oklahoma. They didn’t just win; they dominated, covering with ease in both matchups. Now, the narrative centers on whether Georgia’s newfound status as a ranked team is legitimate or just a fleeting moment.

If this game were played two weeks ago, Tennessee would have been laying a more significant price in this spot, and the question would be whether Georgia could keep it within single digits. Now, because of Tennessee’s bad optics and Georgia’s hot streak, the market has over-adjusted. This line isn’t reflective of the talent gap between these two teams; it’s reflective of recency bias and market sentiment.

Bottom line is that Tennessee is undervalued here and Georgia has “sucker bet” written all over them—taking back a seemingly generous double-digit spread after their big wins. Don’t bite. The Vols are still a powerhouse, and this is a prime spot for them to remind everyone why they were the #1 team not long ago.
