UGA 2nd-Largest Favorite (-22) at Tennessee This Century

ATHENS - No. 3 Georgia will have to cover a 22-point line in Knoxville on Saturday to earn betters money. 

That’s the largest number the Bulldogs have been favored by in Knoxville in program history. Tennessee has only once been a bigger underdog at home this century - against Alabama last fall (+29.5). The Vols are 0-11 straight up this century in games where they are double-digit home underdogs. 

The Bulldogs have been double-digit favorites each game this season. The Bulldogs were 30.5-point favorites in Athens last year against the Vols, but only a ten-point favorite against Tennessee the last time this game was in Knoxville. 

Tennessee is 1-3 this season with the only win coming against UTC. The Bulldogs have been favored against Tennessee in eight of the last nine games and won seven of those contents (2015 UGA -2.5; Tennessee 38-31).
