Tennessee vs. Georgia Tech Prediction: Week 2 Odds & Expert Picks (Saturday, Sept. 12)

Few things in college football are more humbling than being stymied by Colorado’s defense. The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets thus must be quite humbled heading into Week 2 against the No. 18 Tennesee Volunteers.

My Tennessee vs. Georgia Tech predictions have little faith in the nearly two-touchdown home underdogs with kickoff at 7 ET on Saturday, Sept. 12, on ESPN in Atlanta.

Tennessee -12 (-110 via BetMGM)

Losing veteran quarterback Haynes King to the Panthers in the NFL was expected and garners the headlines, but Georgia Tech’s greater worry may be finding an offensive verve without coordinator Buster Faulkner calling the plays, now with Florida.

The Yellow Jackets had no offensive juice against Colorado last week, and struggling against that defense should spark great consternation against a far superior team like Tennessee.

Furthermore, as always, the Volunteers’ calling card should be offense, though perhaps one more ground-bound than folks assume from head coach Josh Heupel as freshman Faizon Brandon builds some experience.

Score prediction: Tennessee 31, Georgia Tech 13
