Tennessee State at Georgia Predictions & Picks

Tennessee State are tipped to cover as a massive underdog in Georgia.

The Bulldogs are undoubtedly the better team and should win this game handsomely, but head coach Kirby Smart has not typically run up the score on lesser teams during his career.

  • Georgia are 2-9-0 ATS in their last 11 games as a double digit favorite
  • Georgia are 0-11-0 ATS in their last 11 games when favored by 32.5+ points
  • The Under cashed in 8 of Georgia’s 12 regular season games in 2025

Head To Head

  • This is the first ever meeting between the two schools

Tennessee State Form

Tennessee State head to Georgia having already kicked off their 2026 season a week ago.

The Tigers came into the new season looking to improve on a 2025 campaign that saw them win just two times, but they did not get off to a successful start.

They took on Jackson State last Saturday, and suffered a 26-24 defeat at the FirstBank Stadium in Nashville.

Georgia Form

Georgia enter the new season with the same mission as always – win the SEC Championship and the National Championship.

The Bulldogs came up short in that quest last year, as they failed to turn conference glory into a national crown.

They booked their place in the conference championship by losing just one game – a 24-21 defeat when they entertained Alabama.

Georgia gained revenge in the SEC Championship Game though, as they secured another conference crown with a 28-7 victory over the Crimson Tide.

The Bulldogs made the College Football Playoffs despite that loss, only to crash out at the first hurdle as they lost 39-34 to Ole Miss in the Sugar Bowl.

Verdict

Our Verdict
There is no doubt in our minds that Georgia will win big on Saturday – but it has been a long time since they ran up a score and covered a massive spread like this one.

We expect them to open up a big lead and then take their foot off the gas here, allowing Tennessee State to cover the number.
