| Southern Pigskin Picks Tennessee over Cin. Quote: |
Prediction: This is a pretty good matchup for the Bearcats, especially with a trip to Florida to open SEC play on deck for the Vols. There won’t be a lot of points, as Collaros has struggled mightily on the road and Tennessee will want to control the clock with a defense lacking depth facing a hurry-up offense. Tennessee will get a big play from Hunter to put the Vols ahead for good, but this will be a quality four-quarter victory that should give the team plenty of confidence rolling into Gainesville. Tennessee 24, Cincinnati 17.

| College Football Poll is a site that uses a computer to make picks. It is pretty accurate and last week was 80% correct on picking upsets. Unfortunately for us this is what it's saying for this week. Here's to hoping we're in the 20% bracket this week... Quote: | Cincinnati by 0.40 over TENNESSEE (-4.5) - Cincy blew the doors off Austin Peay last week, 72-10, but that isn't really saying anything. Tennessee was just okay in a 26-point win over Montana. Before those games were played, the computer favored the Vols in this week's contest by 2.57.

| So the computer modified its picks based on last weeks results. I'd take what it was saying before we beat Montana with our "FCS modified" 4 play playbook over what it says based on Cincy's 72-10 victory over the local high school team. |

Cincinnati is a good football team. We better play better this week or we could get embarrassed..
And just for giggles...here is the Georgia/SC pick... Quote:
South Carolina (-1.5) by 7.10 over GEORGIA - The computer picked South Carolina to beat East Carolina by 19 last week (it was 56-37) and Georgia to lose by 15 to Boise State (it was 35-21). It nailed both picks.

| I don't understand why it infuriates so many people when folks pick us to lose. It's very likely that it will be a close game. Just chill and enjoy some good football in Neyland this weekend.
I think it will be a high-scoring game where we come out on top, but that shouldn't anger any Cincy fans. I could definitely be wrong. |
