Georgia opens -9.5 vs Vols

[hardyemt_p]

They will be pissed for sure. Hopefully we can weather there storm and keep it close till the 4th and come out with the victory!!!

 

[Shaun1985]

For sure betting the under. No way either team scores a lot.

2 years ago the noise level definitely was a factor. We were ranked #1 and they cleaned our clocks 27 - 13. I'd say the Dawg faithful will be loud and ready. Ole Miss embarrassed them and they'll want satisfaction.

I agree entirely. I was just quoting Eric Ainge's tweet that helped rile that crowd up

Hope Eric doesn't say anything this week.

Vegas usually gives the home team 7 points to begin with for home field advantage so they are thinking it’s a toss up game. If our QB play is manageable our defense can win this one but we can’t start off slow on offense and take that chance.

no

That line is a little high and should be - 3 to - 6 in favor of Georgia.

More like 13-16.

 

[Matt2496]

If we keep it close, I'll be happy.

 

[VolCalls]

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

I think it will go in the other direction.

 

[BreatheUT]

This is all about the Vols offense which seems to be convincing people it's below average.

 

[VolCalls]

This. Keep it close and we’ll still be in the thick of the playoff race. Get blown out and it may be a long shot given that we’re so late in the season and depending on what else happens.

 

[jasonvol18]

Whatever. Playing between the hedges is overrated. Not that loud and definitely not intimidating. It’s nothing like playing in Neyland. Vols will be just fine in Athens!

Incorrect..When was the last time we were just fine in Anthens. We've had crowd issues every year we've played there. Definitely very loud. No way you've been there if you think this.

 

[VolCalls]

Not gonna sugarcoat it. I'm more worried about this game than any we've played in several years. There's so much at stake, and I'm not super confident we've got "it" enough to go down to Athens and beat the Dawgs when they are in survival mode. Gonna take more than just the normal amount of luck it takes to win any big game. Not saying a win down there is impossible, but dang. Gonna need to play like they did to beat Bama in that last-second miracle victory that literally made at least half of Vol Nation cry actual tears of joy.

I’m right there with you. I think we need a perfect game to beat them, all things considered.

 

[jasonvol18]

This game against Georgia is reminding me of the Florida 2001 game. We were big underdogs, around 15pts I think, and given no chance. I hope the result is the same.

Reminds me more of 22 when most fans thought we would go on there and beat down GA. We were the ones who got the beat down.

 

[Sarms58]

If we keep it close, I'll be happy.

A close loss doesn’t eliminate us from the 12 team playoff…would need things to fall in our favor

Agree 100%. The confidence of some of our fans is laughable. I've got a bad feeling this is the game Beck and GA get right. Similar to the Texas game. This one could get ugly and over really early if we struggle offensively in the 1st half. Or continue turning the ball over and struggling in the red zone.

 

[SNAFU]

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.

I expect to see the effort that the dawgs showed at Tejas

I don’t think anybody is confident we are going to beat them like pregame in ‘22. Feels like most folks think we are dead men walking.

That could be trouble for us, but UGA just has not looked the same since then. Heck, Beck threw 3 INTs in that game. That game could have gone the other way completely if Texas committed a few less mistakes.

I've never been there, but the person I was quoting (plagiarizing?) has.

The game Beck threw 3 INT’s? They won that game because TX gave them 4 TO’s of their own. Beck had 41 passing attempts for 175 yards they ran the ball for barely 100 yards. They didn’t find themselves that day, TX was just that inept.

100%. I think we lose by 3 TDs.

Sorry we aren't all scared like you guys

He could. But he could also throw 3 picks like he has 3 times this year.

 

[Volfanstucknga]

The line was +16.5 two weeks ago.

 

[StickMan]

I wouldn't touch this line with a ten foot pole. In recent years Georgia is scary when they're mad. I am very glad to see that they are heavy favorites, but they'll still be seeing red. I hope our D can make some big plays.
