Why Georgia Bulldogs are a good bet ATS?
Since the embarrassing 67-91 loss to Georgia State, the Bulldogs have been on a roll, winning 5-of-6. Their only loss in their last 6 games was to Pac 12 leading Arizona State. Georgia lost 74-76. So, the Bulldogs had a chance to beat the Sun Devils.
Tennessee’s the much more popular team right now because the Vols battled some tough out of conference foes. However, this is the first SEC game for both teams. Georgia figures to ratchet up the intensity facing a highly ranked squad like Tennessee.

Georgia vs Tennessee Final NCAAB Betting Analysis
Losing to Georgia State’s not as big of deal as many believe because it happened so early in the season. Villanova lost to Fuhrman and they bounced back with some quality wins.
Georgia could do the same. More importantly, the Bulldogs will get plenty of points in this battle on Saturday. They should have no trouble at least covering the spread against Tennessee. If the Volunteers overlook the Bulldogs, UGA could pull off the SU upset.
