Tennessee opens as 13.5-point favorite for road game at Georgia Tech

Summary

The Tennessee Volunteers enter their upcoming Week 2 non-conference matchup against Georgia Tech as 13.5-point favorites. Oddsmakers set the line following the opening week of college football, where Tennessee defeated Furman and Georgia Tech lost to Colorado. During the season opener, Tennessee relied on a dominant defensive front, while Georgia Tech struggled offensively, totaling 51 rushing yards in their loss to Colorado. The Volunteers, led by head coach Josh Heupel and quarterback Faizon Brandon, view this trip to Bobby Dodd Stadium as a critical swing game for their season. A strong performance in this matchup serves as a significant indicator for the team before a game against Texas two weeks later.
