Dick Vitale has made his pick for the Tennessee-Georgia game on Saturday.
The ESPN analyst took to social media to both share his love for Dolly Parton, who will be making an appearance at the game, and offer his prediction for the game.
While Vitale believes Parton’s halftime performance could be a difference maker, he knows that Parton won’t be suiting up for the Vols. For that reason, he is picking Georgia to win the game 43-24.
Today the superstar “Dolly Parton “will sing Rocky Top at the @UGAfootballLive vs @Vol_Football game Will DOLLY be a difference maker ? My VBDI says we LOVE “DOLLY “but she can’t tackle – block or run – @KirbySmartUGA UGA team 43 – Vols 24 @SEC pic.twitter.com/tmCJv1R584

Parton is an East Tennessee native and a legend in her own right, so the Vols have an icon in their corner, but that might not be enough to will the Vols to a big upset over the Bulldogs.
Tennessee is coming off a crushing loss to Missouri last week and is looking to make up for it with a big win over a rival. Georgia is hoping to keep its perfect record unblemished as it prepares for another potential run in the CFP.
