Georgia vs. Tennessee Prediction
The Georgia offense has looked lackluster in the opening two weeks of the season despite predictable wins against Marshall and FCS Austin Peay. This is the Bulldogs’ first real test of the season as they travel to Knoxville as the defending SEC champions.
Kirby Smart’s side has won eight straight road games against Tennessee, but they will need to find rhythm on offense if they are to outscore the Joey Aguilar-led Volunteers. The Tennessee quarterback ranks ninth in the nation with a 0.56 EPA per dropback as the offense has rocketed with the former App State quarterback under center.
Comparably, Georgia QB Gunner Stockton received a 71.0 (C-) PFSN College QBi grade in Week 2, ranked 101st in the country, and will be looking to exploit the Bulldogs’ receiving options on Saturday.
The Vols are without their two starting cornerbacks, Rickey Gibson and Jermod McCoy, and the Bulldogs have dangerous wideouts acquired through the transfer portal.
While the Georgia receiving corps hasn’t gotten ticking just yet — with transfer portal additions Noah Thomas Jr. only aquating for 24 yards and Zachariah Branch receiving a 68.45 (D+) PFSN College WRi grade — this game could be the time to do it.
College Football Predictions Week 3: Projecting Every Single Game Including Georgia vs. Tennessee
On defense, the Bulldogs have dominated up front, with Georgia creating 23 quarterback pressures over the first two gameweeks and ranking first in the SEC, allowing just 205.5 yards per game. Furthermore, CJ Allen continues to showcase why many see him as one of the top linebackers eligible for the 2026 NFL Draft.
Additionally, the Vols allowed 26 points and 377 total yards in Week 1 against Syracuse.
The over has hit in four of the last six games between these two sides, and games involving Tennessee have gone over the points total in the Vols’ previous six games.
Meanwhile, the Bulldogs are 3.5-point favourites according to DraftKings, and the line has narrowed throughout the week. Georgia has covered the spread in four of the last five matchups against the Vols.
With the over set at 49.5, we could be on for an explosive day in Neyland Stadium, but Georgia’s offensive playmakers will need to show more dynamism to leave Week 3 unbeaten.
Prediction: Georgia 24, Tennessee 19
