Georgia basketball is fresh off one of the best weeks in program history. The Bulldogs defeated not one, but two ranked opponents when they took down Kentucky and Oklahoma last week at home. Their reward for doing that? Two games against teams ranked inside the top six in the updated AP Poll.
The first matchup this week for Georgia comes against No. 6 Tennessee, who just lost for the first time this season last week. And if that isn't scary enough, this is a road game for Georgia.
It may seem unlikely that Georgia wins this game, but they have proven all season how great of a team they can be. And while the rest of the country is beginning to believe in this team, Vegas unfortunately does not.
Georgia vs. Tennessee Final Odds
As of 8:00 pm EST on Tuesday Jan. 14, Georgia is an 11.5 point underdog against Tennessee, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. The over-under for this game is set at 133.5 points as well. ESPN's Matchup Predictor also does not love Georgia's chances in this game as they only give Mike White and the Bulldogs a 15.2 percent chance to win this game.
Georgia vs. Tennessee Prediction
This game potentially will be the touhgest of the season for Georgia. Sure the Kentucky game from last week is up there too, but this Tennessee team has only lost once this week, and that loss came last week. So this Vols team potentially is very angry and wants to prove themseleves against a good team like Georgia.
This game also being a road game could be bad news for the Bulldogs as well.
So as much as Georgia fans likely want to predict a vicotry in this game, that just seems to unrealistic to do right now. Can the Bulldogs win this game? Absolutely. But the likelihood of that happening is too low to predict a win right now.
Prediction: Tennessee wins 75-59
