College GameDay crew, Cody Rhodes make picks for key Week 12 SEC games
College GameDay was live from Athens on Saturday morning ahead of a primetime showdown between No. 7 Tennessee and No. 12 Georgia.
Georgia has struggled lately, as has Bulldogs QB Carson Beck. Now they’re at home and need to win to keep their College Football Playoff hopes alive.
Sanford Stadium should be rocking. The Dawgs will be barking. But Dylan Sampson and the Vols won’t be easy to take down.
On Saturday morning, the ESPN crew of Rece Davis, Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee, Nick Saban, Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstreit was joined by WWE champion Cody Rhodes to make picks for the Week 12 slate.
Howard picked Tennessee (+9.5) to cover against Georgia as his superdog for Saturday’s games.

Smart money would bet against the Vols, but still not believing that the Vols can’t win between the hedges. GBO!

My preseason Oregon vs UGA for the natty hangs in the balance. I’ve gotta pull for the Bullpups.
More like Oregon and Texas.And… don’t forget UGA lost the Tide, and Ole Miss. How much does Kirby pay those zebras anyway ?
