Georgia vs. Tennessee picks, predictions: Week 12 college football odds, lines

So far, defending national champion Georgia has passed its first two major late season tests, defeating ranked conference opponents in Missouri and Ole Miss, and now the Bulldogs hit the road for the third in that series, squaring off against No. 18 Tennessee.

  • Georgia moved back to No. 1 in the College Football Playoff rankings, jumping Ohio State after its two wins against ranked opponents
  • Bulldogs are top 10 nationally in scoring offense and defense, averaging 40.6 points per game and allowing 15.6 from the opposition
  • UGA has already clinched the East Division and will play Alabama in the SEC Championship Game the first week of December
  • Vols slid down in the CFP rankings after a 36-7 loss at Missouri, falling to 3-3 in SEC play and into third place in the East Division standings

What do the experts make of the matchup? Let's see how the College Football Power Index computer prediction model projects the game.

Georgia vs. Tennessee picks, predictions

College Football Power Index is a computer prediction model that uses data points from both teams to simulate games 20,000 times and project winners.

This week, the index favors Georgia to win the game in 69.3 percent of its simulations, or 13,860 of its total projections.

Tennessee wins out in the remaining 30.7 percent of sims, or 6,140 predictions.

FPI predicts that Georgia has the second-best chance to win the SEC Championship and win 12.1 games this season. The computers project Tennessee will win 8.3 games.

By taking the difference between each team's projected scoring margin per game, the computers expect that Georgia will defeat Tennessee by 8.8 points, not enough to cover the line at SI Sportsbook, which favors the Bulldogs by 10 points.
