Georgia Bulldogs Aim to Break Betting Trend Against Tennessee State

The Georgia Bulldogs, under the leadership of Kirby Smart, are set to face Tennessee State in Week 1 as 46.5-point favorites. This matchup presents an opportunity for the Bulldogs to break a notable trend, as they have never covered a spread of 40 points or more during Smart's tenure.

Georgia has an impressive record of 117-21, including two national championships and four SEC titles. However, they have failed to cover the spread in all ten instances when favored by at least 40 points. Despite winning each of those games, the Bulldogs often did not win by the required margin, with only one game decided by fewer than 28 points.

Tennessee State, an FCS team, is coming off a loss to Jackson State and finished last season with a 2-10 record. This matchup could be a pivotal moment for Georgia to finally cover a large spread, as they look to improve on their previous performances.
