It’s finally here. The battle of the two remaining undefeated teams in the Southeastern Conference, Georgia vs. Tennessee, kicks off Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS.
All of the talk has been about Tennessee’s offense, which is certainly fair. But Georgia’s defense is no joke. Though it’s not on the same level as last year’s squad, this team can give Hendon Hooker a tough time, especially with the game being in Athens.
Defensively, Tennessee ranks very low practically everywhere, most notably in passing defense. Stetson Bennett could be due for a big day. But can he do enough to keep up?
If you’re looking to do some last minute betting research on this game, you’re in luck as we give you all the lines and information you’ll need to make the smartest bet at BetMGM.
