Tennessee State vs Georgia Pick

Georgia has an overwhelming talent advantage and should dominate this matchup from the opening kickoff. Tennessee State will struggle to generate any consistent offense against the Bulldogs defense, while Georgia should repeatedly begin drives with excellent field position. Look for the Bulldogs to build an enormous lead before halftime as the Bulldogs roll to an easy blowout victory and cover at home.
