Georgia looks to rebound from a poor performance against Alabama as they travel to Tennessee.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Before the season started, many thought this Tennessee-Georgia match-up in Knoxville could decided the SEC East title. However, both teams are coming off disappointing losses and both teams are looking up in the standings at undefeated Florida. Georgia is 4-1 overall and 2-1 in the SEC. The Bulldogs are tied with Kentucky for second in the division. Tennessee is 2-3 overall and is 0-2 in SEC play. Only Vanderbilt, South Carolina and Auburn are winless in SEC play.<\/p>\n

The series is tied 21-21-2, but Tennessee is 11-10-1 in Knoxville against Georgia. The Bulldogs have won the last 5 games in the series, but each game has been decided by 8 points or less. Georgia won last year’s meeting 34-31 in Athens.<\/p>\n

Georgia is coached by Mark Richt. The Bulldogs were destroyed last week at home 38-10 by Alabama.\u00a0 Georgia has home wins over UL-Monroe 51-14, South Carolina 52-20 and Southern 48-6 along with a road win over Vanderbilt 31-14. Georgia was\u00a0 a 1.5 point favorite against Alabama and the total was 51. It was the first time Alabama was an underdog since the 2009 SEC Championship game. The two teams were tied at 3 early in the second quarter. However, Alabama scored 35 straight points, including a pick six and a blocked punt returned for a touchdown. Georgia scored on the last play of the game on an 83 yard touchdown run from running back Nick Chubb. Georgia had 4 turnovers and Alabama had 2. The Crimson Tide had 379 total yards to 299 for the Bulldogs. Georgia is 2-3 ATS and the total is 2-3 as well.<\/p>\n

Tennessee is coached by Butch Jones. The Volunteers have home wins over Bowling Green 59-30 and Western Carolina 55-10. Tennessee has a road loss at Florida 28-27, plus home losses to Oklahoma 31-24 in double overtime and last week against Arkansas 24-20. In each of the losses Tennessee had at least a 13 point lead. Tennessee was a 5.5 point favorite against Arkansas and the total was 53.5. The Volunteers jumped out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter. However, they would be tied at 17 at halftime. Arkansas scored a touchdown midway through the third and Tennessee would kick a field goal three minutes later. Neither team would score again as the Razorbacks snapped a three game losing streak. The Volunteers are 2-3 ATS and the total is 3-2 this season.<\/p>\n
