Georgia Bulldogs vs Tennessee Volunteers Betting Picks & Predictions

Game time: January 15, 2025 at 8:00 PM ET

Venue: Food City Center — Knoxville, TN

Article updated Jan 14, 10:16 PM EST

Published by SportsJaw Editorial Team

A highly anticipated matchup between two top 25 teams in the SEC is scheduled for Wednesday as the Georgia Bulldogs (14-2, 2-1 SEC) travel to face the Tennessee Volunteers

Game outlook

A highly anticipated matchup between two top 25 teams in the SEC is scheduled for Wednesday as the Georgia Bulldogs (14-2, 2-1 SEC) travel to face the Tennessee Volunteers (15-1, 2-1 SEC). Last season, Tennessee emerged victorious with a six-point win on the road. Georgia is coming off a strong home win over #17 Oklahoma, while Tennessee recently secured a road victory over Texas. Tipoff is set for 8:00 EST at the Food City Center in Knoxville, Tennessee, with the game being televised on the SEC Network. Tennessee opens as the favorite with a -11 point spread that has remained steady.

Betting Odds

Moneyline: Bulldogs +500 | Volunteers -720

Spread: Bulldogs +11 (-110) | Volunteers -11 (-110)

Total: Over/Under 133 (-110)

Based on the moneyline, the implied probability that Tennessee will win straight-up is 88%.

Georgia Bulldogs

The Georgia Bulldogs are currently in the midst of a challenging five-game stretch against ranked teams in the SEC. After recent wins against Kentucky and Oklahoma, they are led by freshman center Asa Newell, who is the team's leading scorer and rebounder. Newell, a highly touted recruit, is projected to be a lottery pick in the upcoming NBA draft. Other key contributors include senior Dakota Leffew and sophomore Silar Demary Jr. The Bulldogs are ranked 34th overall in Division I teams and boast top-tier defensive efficiency. Offensively, they excel in field goal percentage but struggle with three-point shooting. In terms of betting, Georgia has a power ranking of 111 and a record of 22-11 this season. For those looking to maximize profits, it is recommended to choose the best NCAAB handicappers.

Tennessee Volunteers Analysis

The Tennessee Volunteers experienced a setback in their ranking after a significant loss to Florida, dropping to sixth place. However, they were able to bounce back with a win against Texas. Led by standout players like Zakai Zeigler, Chaz Lanier, and Igor Milicic Jr., the Volunteers have demonstrated strength in both offense and defense. Tennessee boasts impressive statistics, including strong shooting percentages and efficient defensive play. With a power ranking of 36 and a record of 15-1, the Volunteers are a force to be reckoned with in college basketball.

Tennessee Ready to Rebound Against Georgia After Tough Loss to Florida

Tennessee recently faced a tough defeat against the Florida Gators, but this setback is likely to fuel the Volunteers' determination and focus as they navigate through SEC competition. Despite the loss, Tennessee remains strong with only one defeat this season and victories against ranked rivals such as #13 Baylor and #23 Arkansas. Known for their elite defensive prowess, the Volunteers are currently ranked 3rd in the nation for defensive efficiency. Facing Georgia, a team with a lower offensive efficiency ranking at 73rd, Tennessee's formidable defense is poised to limit their opponent's scoring opportunities. While Georgia possesses a skilled big man in Newell, their lack of a top-notch point guard could pose challenges against Zeigler and Tennessee's defensive unit. Ultimately, Tennessee is anticipated to rebound from their prior defeat and secure a win in this matchup. I recommend taking Tennessee to cover the spread.
