This week just needs to fly by. Come Saturday, the long wait will be over, as Tennessee football and Georgia are going to face off at Neyland Stadium in what should be a thriller. We've got the No. 6 Dawgs taking on the No. 15 Vols - this is going to be electric.
Will the Vols be able to pull off the upset? While the UT fanbase has high hopes for Josh Heupel and Co., it doesn't look like Vegas thinks it's going to happen. The opening line for this game was Georgia favored by 7.5. After Week 2, that has since moved to 4.5 per the FanDuel sportsbook. Is that fair for this one?
Joey Aguilar sends incredible message to Tennessee fans after his Neyland debut
Georgia is favored by 4.5 points against Tennessee football in Week 3
We get it. Heupel has had his struggles against Kirby Smart in recent years, with Georgia dominating this SEC rivalry. However, throw everything out of the window for this meeting, as these are two totally different teams and Tennessee will take the field with a ton of confidence.
Why? Because of Joey Aguilar. After his incredible performance to open the season, Aguilar followed things up with 288 yards and two touchdowns in Week 2. Oh, and he only needed one half to post those numbers. Yes, we understand East Tennessee State and Georgia aren't on the same level, but Aguilar is proving that he can make magic happen with the ball in his hands.
He's not the only one, as people are fired up about how strong both the wide receivers room and running backs room has been looking through two weeks. Georgia and Smart are going to dial up some schemes defensively to rattle Aguilar and the Tennessee O, but the hope is Heupel will make in-game adjustments to combat that.
This is easily the best game of the weekend and College GameDay being on hand makes things 100 times better. Tennessee being an underdog by 4.5 points seems like a bit of a stretch, but Georgia fans will be quick to agree with that number. We'll find out Saturday what the Vols are made of, but 'upset city' could be headed to Knoxville.
