  • The Tennessee Volunteers have had little trouble getting off to a good start, as the Vols have won eight consecutive Week 1 contests. Of course, it won’t be easy this season, as Tennessee has a lot of holes to fill on offense and will be facing a game Georgia Tech team.

    Shark Bites
    • Georgia Tech is 3-1 ATS in its last 4 games as underdog.
    • The total has gone OVER in Tennessee’s last 4 games.
    • Georgia Tech won their last 4 games of last season by an average margin of 10 ppg.

    Replacing Joshua Dobbs, Alvin Kamara and Derek Barnett is a tall order for coach Butch Jones. Figuring out who starts at quarterback will be vital and the choice will likely go a long way to telling you where the program is. Quinten Dormady was the backup each of the past two seasons and offers familiarity while redshirt freshman Jarrett Guarantano offers a more intriguing ceiling but certain growing pains.

    The Yellow Jackets bring a wealth of experience this season with 17 starters returning between the offense and defense. Replacing Justin Thomas at the helm of the wishbone offense will be vital but coach Paul Johnson has a glut of potential options to choose from. The entire secondary returns and if the front four can generate pressure, watch out.
