Georgia hosts Tennessee in a crucial Week 12 College Football matchup as 10-point favorites, with the total set at 48.5 points. The game kicks off Saturday, November 16 at 7:30 pm ET from Sanford Stadium.

Key Factors Impacting the Game:

Tennessee's quarterback Nico Iamaleava is questionable with an upper-body injury, though coach Josh Heupel indicated he had a good practice and should be ready. Iamaleava has impressed this season with 1,879 passing yards and 11 touchdowns, plus 300 rushing yards.

Georgia comes in after a concerning 28-10 loss to Ole Miss. The Bulldogs are dealing with multiple issues:

• RB Trevor Etienne is battling a rib injury
• QB Carson Beck has thrown 7 interceptions in his last 3 games
• The offensive line has allowed 14 sacks on the season
• Receivers lead the nation with 29 drops
• Defense has allowed 28+ points in 3 of last 6 games

Betting Analysis:

• The spread moved from Georgia -8.5 to -10
• Total dropped significantly from 53.5 to 48.5
• Public heavily favors Georgia (64% of tickets, 88% of handle)

Tennessee vs Georgia SP+ rankings show these teams are closely matched, with Tennessee having the superior defense. If Iamaleava plays, expect a competitive game. The under looks appealing given Georgia's recent offensive struggles and Tennessee's strong defense.

Best Bet: Under 48.5 (-110)

Georgia's struggles combined with Tennessee's defensive strength suggest a lower-scoring affair, regardless of Iamaleava's status. Tennessee has topped 30 points just once in conference play, while Georgia has been held under 15 points twice this season.
