A pair of SEC teams looking to keep their College Football Playoff hopes alive meet when the No. 12 Georgia Bulldogs (7-2, 5-2) host the No. 7 Tennessee Volunteers (8-1, 5-1) on Saturday at Sanford Stadium. The Bulldogs are looking to bounce back from a 28-10 blowout loss to Ole Miss, while the Vols are looking to extend their winning streak to five games after blowing out Mississippi State 33-14 last week. Georgia leads the all-time series 28-23-2. The Vols are 5-4 and the Bulldogs are 2-7 against the spread in 2024. Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava, originally listed as questionable on Wednesday, has been cleared to play. 

Kickoff in Athens, Georgia is at 7:30 p.m. ET. The Bulldogs are 9.5-point favorites in the latest Georgia vs. Tennessee odds via SportsLine consensus, while the over/under for total points scored is 46.5. Georgia is a -347 (risk $347 to win $100) favorite on the money line, with Tennessee listed as a +270 underdog (see up-to-date odds for every game this week on our college football odds page).
