Joel Klatt gives Georgia fans one reason to be hopeful vs Tennessee

Georgia football's upcoming game against Tennessee has the attention of the college football world. ESPN's College GameDay will be in town for their weekly pregame show, and every analyst the sport has to offer is weighing in on who they think will win this game.

Fox Sports' Joel Klatt has been very vocal all week long about this game, and he even predicted Tennessee to upset Georgia earlier this week. Klatt however has decided at the last second to come back to the good side as he now predicts Georgia will emerge victorious Saturday night.

“I wanted to take Tennessee in this game, but I can’t do it. I’ve got to go with Georgia."

Joel Klatt is back to being a believer in Georgia

Predicting Georgia to lose to Tennessee just isn't a wise thing to do. Is it possible for Tennessee to beat UGA this weekend? Absolutely, and it wouldn't be a huge surprise if it happened. But it's still silly to predict Tennessee to win based on recent history.

Everyone knows how dominant Georgia has been against Tennessee over the last eight years. The Bulldogs have won eight straight games against the Volunteers with all eight wins coming by at least 14 points. This all took place while Tennessee has been a very good team as well, so it really doesn't get more dominant than that.

Klatt however may be in the minority this week. A lot of the college football world is predicting Tennessee to win this game, so much so that the opening spread of seven points has dropped all the way to 4.5 points. ESPN even gives Tennessee the slight edge as well.

None of these predictions actually mean anything though. Georgia and Tennessee appear to be pretty evenly matched, so this game could realistically go either way.
