Randy’s Pick
Georgia has been a buzz saw for much of the season, and it's top-10 in both total offense and total defense. However, Georgia is also 4-6 ATS this season and 3-5 ATS in its last 8 games as double-digit favorites. The Tennessee Volunteers haven't lost a home game in two years, and they're a balanced team overall, led by a top-10 rushing attack. Yes, the Vols weren't inspiring against Missouri last week, let's not just overlook this team, especially at home. This is the first time in two years, Tennessee has been a double-digit underdog. Give me the points.
