The line means the Bulldogs have about an 70% chance of winning the game straight up.
The Bulldogs have been favored in each of the last eight contests between the two programs, but the 6.5-point line is the lowest amount UGA has been favored by since being an underdog to the Vols in Athens in 2016 - Kirby’s first season as head coach at Georgia.
In that game Jauan Jennings pulled in a 43-yard Hail Mary from Joshua Dobbs on the final play of the game, which gave the No. 11 Vols a 34-31 win over Georgia. That’s the last time Tennessee beat Georgia. The Bulldogs have won eight games in a row since. Both teams played in the 2024 College Football Playoff, and both lost in the first game they played.
Georgia is 8-2 against the spread in the last ten games against the Vols (2018, 2015).
In games where Kirby Smart’s Bulldogs have been favored by a score (3.5 to 8.5), Georgia is 14-6 all time. Only three of those contests have been on the road. Georgia is 2-1 straight up in those games (2018 LSU).
Betting lines predict the outcome of the game to be a 28-22 Georgia win.
