Why Georgia can cover
The Bulldogs lead the nation in scoring defense, giving up just 6.6 points per game. They have trailed just twice this season and the defense has allowed just five touchdowns, while scoring three. Senior linebacker Channing Tindall leads Georgia with 45 tackles, including 21 solo, with one sack for four yards. He has registered at least three tackles in every game, including a season-high seven in three games.
Offensively, freshman tight end Brock Bowers has made a big first impression and leads the team in receptions with 28 for 493 yards (17.6 average) and six touchdowns. He has had three games with two TDs. In a game against UAB on Sept. 11, Bowers caught three passes for a season-high 107 yards and two touchdowns. He also had five catches for 101 yards (20.2 average) and two TDs against Kentucky on Oct. 16.
Why Tennessee can cover
Despite that, the Bulldogs are not a lock to cover the Georgia vs. Tennessee spread. That’s because the Volunteers just knocked off a team that was ranked on the road last week and they’ve played other tough teams well. Tennessee dropped a 41-34 decision to No. 21 Pittsburgh on Sept. 11 and fell 31-26 at No. 15 Ole Miss on Oct. 16.
Senior quarterback Hendon Hooker leads the Vols in total offense. He is tops in passing, completing 129 of 186 attempts (69.4 percent) for 1,894 yards and 21 touchdowns. He has been intercepted twice and has a rating of 190. He is second on the team in rushing, carrying 112 times for 457 yards (4.1 average) and four scores.
