Georgia Football vs. Tennessee final odds and a prediction

Georgia football is set to take on No. 7 Tennessee in their first game in Athens in over a month. It's safe to say that the team and fans are ready to flood Sanford Stadium and create the best atmosphere possible, especially with ESPN's College GameDay coming to town.

This game is as important as it gets for Georgia. Since UGA dropped to No.12 in the updated College Football Playoff rankings on Tuesday, the Bulldogs are in must win mode the rest of the season if they want to make the 12-team CFP field. And that starts with this massive game against the Vols.

But before the game gets here, let's take a look at what Vegas thinks about this game.

Georgia vs. Tennessee Final Odds

As of 5:00 am EST on Saturday, Nov. 16, Georgia is a 9.5 point favorite over Tennessee according to FanDuel Sportsbook. The over-under is also set at 46.5 points. ESPN's Football Power Index also gives Georgia a 61.9 percent chance of beating Tennessee as well.

Georgia vs. Tennessee Prediction

Kirby Smart and Georgia are in a position where they have to win this game. A lot of times it's important for UGA to win with style points to try and impress the CFP committee, but that doesn't matter in a game like this.

Sure Georgia is favored by 9.5 points, but it does not matter one bit if they don't cover this spread. Georgia could win by one point in overtime and this would still look like an amazing win on their resume. So as long as the Bulldogs win this game, everything will be just fine for the remainder of their season.

Star Tennessee QB Nico Iamaleava will play in this game after suffering a concussion last week, but Iamaleava not being fully healthy will really hurt the Vols chances in this game.

Prediction: Georgia wins 23-17
