Fantastic sports handicapper<\/a> Matt Rivers is the winningest handicapper on a large network of websites and scorephones. He has taken his talents to Show. \u00a0<\/span>He has a free winner on Georgia-Tennessee for Saturday. Currently BetUs Sportsbook<\/a> has the Vols<\/span> a one-point favorite. His pick is: Georgia (+1) at <\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font>Tennessee<\/span><\/font><\/st1:place><\/st1:State> and here is why:
 
Lane Kiffin<\/span> is rapidly becoming the joke that I thought he was!
 
I will give Tennessee’s defense credit because Eric Berry and that unit is difficult to do much against but Jonathan Crompton<\/span> and the offense is pretty much allergic to scoring at times.
 
The first game of the season was against the doormat of all doormats in <\/span><\/font>Western Kentucky<\/span><\/font><\/st1:place> and that led to the 63-7 romp. But we have seen since how that offensive outburst now means nothing as the Volunteers offense has done very very<\/span> little since.
 
I did have UT in <\/span><\/font>Gainesville<\/span><\/font><\/st1:place><\/st1:City> plus that ridiculous number because on principle alone laying 30 points to a quality defense is beyond silly. I do believe that Urban Meyer was not wrong in saying how Kiffin<\/span> played that game not to lose. The offense did not try and do all that much except for run the clock in the 24-10 defeat. The Vols<\/span> can run the ball a little with Monterio<\/span> Hardesty and Bryce Brown but Mark Richt knows that and will load the box and make Crompton<\/span>, who is very turnover prone and craps in his pants a lot, beat him.
 
Georgia is not great as losing both Matthew Stafford and Knowshon Moreno was going to bring some leaner times and the Bulldawgs<\/span> probably will be without both Caleb and Tavarres<\/span> King here in Knoxville but until UT shows anything at all when they have the pigskin how can you not fade Kiffin’s<\/span> crap?
 
The Dawgs<\/span> have been somewhat of an enigma this season as the defense was horrendous but the offense was great against both South Carolina and Arkansas but then the last few weeks were a lot better defensively against Arizona State and LSU but fairly inept offensively. So it’s tough to play this game for real no matter how horrible <\/span><\/font>Tennessee<\/span><\/font><\/st1:place><\/st1:State>’s offense is as the road is never easy and <\/span><\/font>Georgia<\/span><\/font><\/st1:place><\/st1:country-region> has been wildly inconsistent. All in all though Quarterback Joe Cox has potential, the running game for <\/span><\/font>Georgia<\/span><\/font><\/st1:place><\/st1:country-region> is always good and AJ<\/span> Green may seriously be the best wide receiver in the entire nation.
 
One final factor is how Richt has been beyond great coaching the Dawg’s<\/span> on the road in his tenure. It’s now something like 26-4 away from <\/span><\/font>Athens<\/span><\/font><\/st1:place><\/st1:City> against SEC opponents which is a big enough sample size for me to believe this is much more of a trend than a fluke. Nobody can boast such a mark as it is extremely gaudy and in the end today I think that experience along with the more potent offense will be too much for UT and put another notch in Kiffin’s<\/span> coffin.<\/span><\/font> \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
