I know Tennessee has really improved over the last few weeks but I still think Bama will really show how much better they are and win a 38 - 7 type game. Tennessee's offense is all based on the running game and I think Bama shuts that down to at least half what they average per game.

Our all time record vs SEC teams divided by 10.

They get 2 late scores against our 3 team defense.

I think they draw slips of paper out of a hat to decide who will pick against Bama and what to bash us about. They can't be serious all the time about their picks. It just wouldn't make for good tv if they pick us to win by a lot every game.
These guys on ESPN are like the weatherman. They can be wrong 50% or more of the time and still keep their jobs. I am in the wrong line of work.

I brought this to the top last week and one person picked the right score, wasn't me, but I am happy to be in the correct bunch this week. Most everyone had this game pegged within a couple of points with the assumption that Bama would put them away early and keep the score in the 40's and UT would get a FG and late TD.

I am going by the Georgia game as yardage reference with Florida, Ga, and SC with points both ways. If Florida put up 31, I say we will score 42 by the end of the 3rd and will not run up the score. They are averaging around 20 points against Fl, Ga, and SC, and 14 to Oregon, so they put up 10 points.

The game will be over by mid 3rd quarter with Blake playing quarterback who will add another 3 points in the 4th. So 45-10.

We run for 250 yards and pass for another 200-250. We will have around 450-500 yards to their 200-250.

I think UT will be emotionally spent from the last second win this past weekend. We have been there done that so it was just business as usual beating Arkansas the other night. I like the Vol running back, but their QB was replaced earlier in the year. Everybody keeps talking about how much better they have gotten the last few games, but we have improved quite a bit as well.

Thank you for reposting this. It is nice to show my wife that I can be right every once in a while.
