Score Prediction: Tennessee vs. Georgia

The Tennessee Volunteers (7-3, 3-3) go to battle against the two-time defending national champion Georgia Bulldogs (10, 7-0). Here is my official score prediction for the game.
In this story:

The No. 1 game in the SEC today will be Georgia vs. Tennessee. The two programs are poised to sit atop the SEC East over the next few years, which has re-sparked their illustrious rivalry. Georgia comes into town with a perfect season on the line and an SEC East title already in hand.

Tennessee still has a lot to play for this year. Though they aren't going to win the SEC East, they still are playing for a possible New Year's 6 Bowl appearance. Additionally, they have a ton of blue-chip prospects on campus this weekend, which could help further enhance their future. 

The Vols have rewritten the core of their football team to ensure they won football games this season. Though the offense has been an Achilles heel at some junctures, they have adapted and leaned on a defense playing their best football under head coach Josh Heupel. The front seven has been dominant, and the secondary is much improved from one season ago.

Conversely, Georgia is playing exceptional complementary football through ten games. They create gaps in concentrated spurts, staying with the same balanced offensive attack that they established when previous offensive coordinator Todd Monken took over. The Bulldogs have a lot of talent returning from the injury report and are peaking at the right time - though the environment of Neyland should be outstanding, I lean the Bulldogs in this one.

Score Prediction: Georgia, 35-24
