Georgia opens -9.5 vs Vols

no respect for Tennessee.

 

[Vol737]

Good

 

[Christian Lowe]

Saban and Kirby both beat the piss out of whoever they play the week after a loss.

 

[VawlDave]

Given the way the D regularly rises to the occasion in big games, Carson Beck isn’t magically going to be a better decision maker next week. I don’t care that they’re coming off a loss. Kirby Smart ain’t out there playing.

 

[volbound1700]

Fair enough... Tennessee has struggled on the road.

I think we can beat the spread with our defense.

 

[OrangeCola]

I hope Heupel knows how to work the disrepect card like Kirby does

The issue with Kirby and Saban is that they often just had a better team than their opponent coming off a loss. We will see. I clearly understand Georgia being the favorite but they aren't unbeatable. Tennessee matches up fairly well with Georgia, we will need our offensive line to play one of its best games all year.

Man who would have thought before the season we would be going into Georgia as the higher ranked team and we could effectively end Georgia's season with a win.

 

[bpalmer28]

Tough road game. Best QB, WR, and top 2 RBs all at least a little banged up.

Defense travels.

 

[DiderotsGhost]

As much as I hate Georgia, I really wanted them to beat Ole Miss. This is going to be a playoff elimination game for them now and they are going to come out playing their "A" game.

They do look more vulnerable this year than any recent season and we match up better than in the past, but going to be a difficult game regardless.

 

[Volfan8282]

They probably are accounting to some degree for Nico not playing.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

We're gonna get their best game. Guarantee you that, especially now that they lost yesterday. It's do or die for them. Just hope we give them our best game in return. It'll be a great game that we have a chance to win if that's the case.

 

[Model12]

I hate georgia.

That is all.

 

[Persian Vol]

This is going to be one of those games where you’ll never feel good when your offense is on the field whether you are a fan of either team.

 

[Cartervol]

I think that line is a little high. I would have put it at about 5 or 6..

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

Wasn’t it -20 not too long ago?

This.

We'll have to play much better than we've played in any game this year.

Road struggles and lethargic offense. Seems about right.

Where I think the rubber meets the road is our DL vs their OL. Their OL is not good and it’s one of the main issues why Beck has struggled. I think their defense and crowd noise will cause Nico and co. to struggle mightily. If our defense can hold serve, we may get a chance to win late with a big play or drive. I don’t see us scoring more than 20 pts in Athens, though so we gotta rough’em up.

The paradox for me is that I married into a UGA family. I want this win so bad.

 

[bpalmer28]

The world is 1 week away from concluding that 2024 Georgia is very similar to 2021 Kentucky.

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

Is the Ratledge kid back from injury?

 

[Volholic]

GOOD

There is an outside shot that I could get tickets to the game on my end. I definitely want to win bad as well because I feel like Georgia is that last hurdle for Heupel to overcome. We haven't beat them with Heupel and sadly, none of the games have been close.

 

[Nationdom]

I have a feeling it will be UGA-1.5 by game time
