I really LOVE TN in this spot I'm jumped on it early @ -2 as I think it will move. UGA is grossly overrated. I think TN wins easily between the hedges against a UGA team with QB issues. Any thoughts???
TN/UGA
- Thread starter D-Money
- Start date
Thats what I thought about that line (smelled fishy). It seems like a no brainer but line so small makes you wonder what your missing.
Tenn has to be the pick with -2 or 2.5

One thing to think about is a team that has been tested time and time again. UGA is growing as a team in playing all these tight ball games. Remember the Ohio State of a few years back squeaking through the small games. Just a thought
I hope to see some line movement with the line getting @ least to 5 or 6 by KO. IMO with the current line this should get lots of action on TN. IF the line doesn't move much, I'll really start to wonder " What the Hell I'm Missing" since I really can't find anything solid against the play. Really doesn't matter seeing I've already played it LARGE.
I'm on Tenn as well. As for the short price, I feel that playing on the road in the SEC is tough business. I think this line is spot on. Just ask Auburn after their W last week.

Just a few trends that go against TN.
TN has lost 5 of last 6 to UGA SU & ATS
TN is 2-9 ATS prior to a bye week.

the onlly thing that may change how Georgia plays this week is that Georgia's original QB, Tereshinski III, will start this weekend & not either of the freshman who have both played mediocre at best over the last few weeks. JTIII is no world beater, but he doesn't make alot of mistakes & won't be nearly as rattled by the blitz as the freshman were. Not saying this will allow georgia to win the game, but i am saying that it makes it much more of a toss up than it would be if stafford or cox were starting. The line reflects the qb change. Georgia will be more efficient on offense w/ JTIII at the helm & UT is banged up on D. I have no idea if that will be enough to give georgia a chance but they'll look like a diff. team this week as compared to the last few. gl w/ the play.
Good post. I was under the impression Joe T was vailable, bu not starting this weekend. Irresponsible capping on my part, that's for sure.

its on the front page of atlanta journal constituition today that JTIII is starting so there is no doubt there no matter what you may read elsewhere. Richt never had to play freshman qb's at Fla st. and he has said repeatedly over the last several weeks that he can't stand watching freshman grow up under the lights. It'll be JTIII this weekend. Still hard not to like Tenn after how UGA has played lately but i would caution anyone that is thinking that this is a lock. Georgia has a stout D and plently of skill players if there is someone moderately competant to get them the ball.
I agree. Never such a thing as a lock when it comes to gambling, but this sure is a strong play IMO. I do think that UGA will show up and play much better, but when the dust settles I think the vols will prove to be too much. That being said both D's are strong and I look for this one to stay under the number. something like a 21-10 game.
Joe T may start but I doubt he plays the whole game. He will be lucky to stay in for the first half.
Cannot discount playing between the hedges as a advantage for the Bulldogs.
Georgia defense is stout also. But the Georgia receivers lack the talent to win this game with touchdowns. That leaves it up to the running game and no turnovers for Georgia.
Still thinking about this game.
It should be close.

scott,
stafford & cox have shown that they can't handle the blitz or read defenses very well at this point. I'd be very surprised if either of them play in this game. JTIII has a much better shot of managing the game well but he hasn't played in a month. Revolving qb's are never good for an offense but there remains the possibility that JTIII gives them a spark. The injuries to the tennessee d can't hurt either. I'll be watching this one and rooting for the dawgs.

I just have to think back to the Florida game last year when Joe T started. Big time game and
atmoshere on the road.
This game will have the same feel to him. He will most likely be rusty and unable to handle this pressure to win.
I would bet my cookies Joe T will not last the whole game. No way. First sign of ineptitude and Richt will pull him.
I am not playing this game, its just too close to call. I will watch and root for the Dogs though.

Will Fullmer try and win this game in classic SEC style fashion? RUN RUN PASS, RUN RUN PASS? Don't kid yourselves. TN is likely to play this one ultra conservative. Playing not to lose instead of playing to win. Never going for the knockout punch. That makes it easier for UGA D (which is highly touted) to shut down TN offense. I don't see TN taking any risks on offense and playing this one safe throughout.
Georgia has a great defense and are playing at home. So if TN plays classic style SEC ball, wouldn't that keep UGA in the game? Wouldn't that make is easy on UGA defense to stop TN offense? (it already is a great defense)
This game will be close till the end. UGA has no offense, UGA has great defense, TN is solid on both sides of ball but injuries on D, game is @UGA, so it will be close throughout. Turnovers and lucky breaks will decide game. I think the vegas line is right on the money. But I def. would favor TN to win this since UGA has a horrible offense.

IMO your right on with this one scott...points will be a premium in this one...As I've said before this game is screaming under the total...
