Tennessee catches a major break this week with Nick Chubb ruled out for Georgia. Look for Josh Dobbs to lead the Volunteers to a big road win over the Bulldogs. My projections have the Vols winning by more than a touchdown with Chubb out of the lineup.
Georgia is in an obvious bounceback spot, but it's alarming how bad the Bulldogs played last week at Ole Miss. They did nothing offensively until the score was 45-0. Tennessee, which has the Florida monkey off its back, has covered four straight meetings with UGA and won't have to face a healthy Nick Chubb. Even if Georgia's star tailback suits up, he won't be close to 100 percent. Chubb did not practice Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday and Thursday's practice was closed to the media.
Georgia's offensive line has let the running game down, leaving things up to freshman QB Jacob Eason. After Nick Chubb rushed for 222 yards in the opening win against North Carolina, he's rushed for 80 yards or less in his next three. The Dawgs' quality of play caught up with them last week as they were routed 45-14 at Ole Miss. Chubb also got hurt and he didn't participate in the first three days of practice this week. Butch Jones finally got a win against Georgia last season and the Vols come off a massive comeback victory over Florida. Lay the points.
