Each week, Dawn of the Dawg will release a score prediction for the Georgia Football team’s upcoming game. Here’s how we did last week:
Prediction: Georgia 31, Tennessee 14
Actual Result: Georgia 41, Tennessee 0
For the second week in a row, my prediction seemed to underestimate Georgia football. I will do my best to avoid that this week.
Georgia takes on Vanderbilt at 12:00 PM (ET) on Saturday in Nashville. This will be Georgia’s third SEC game of the season and its second consecutive game on the road in the state of Tennessee.
The Dawgs are one of the hottest teams in the country with a 5-0 record and find themselves in the top 5 of the Associated Press Poll. Vanderbilt, on the other hand, is reeling from back-to-back SEC losses to Florida and Alabama and sit at 3-2 (0-2 in the SEC).

With Georgia having of the best defenses in the country combined with a potent rushing attack on offense, I see the Dawgs having no trouble with Vandy this weekend. Georgia may have Jacob Eason back in some capacity this weekend and Vanderbilt has seen its struggles on offense at times this year.
The two factors in this game that may somewhat hinder Georgia somewhat, while not even necessarily helping Vanderbilt, is that the game will be an 11:00 AM (ET) local kickoff time and the game is in Nashville. Georgia has struggled in recent early-day games and has had some tough times on at Vandy in years past.

Nonetheless, I am of the popular opinion that this year’s Georgia team is just different. I fully expect them to take care of business against Vanderbilt on Saturday and leave Nashville with a 6-0 record.
