Athlon Sports game by game predictions for Tennessee

[Jaws]

I think Florida is being slightly overhyped this year.

Perhaps, but you can see the reasoning. We’ll know a lot on 8/24 v Miami.

 

[sjt18]

I think USCe and Mizzou are both overrated. I just don't know how good UT will be.

 

[sjt18]

Like it “usually” does? I’ll give you 3 close games in the last 5 years, outside of that you have to go back to 2006 for a game that “went down to the wire.” I wouldn’t call three close games in the last 14 years “usually.” And I include UT’s 2016 win as a game that wasn’t really all that close at the end.

Would you mind saving your jackassery for Gator boards?

 

[Vol$_Deep_11_9]

Consensus 7-5.

I’ll take 8-4 and say we win the Carolina game. Should have last year IMO, know it doesn’t have anything to do with this year. 7-5 is improvement on last year and I’m okay with that too but think we get to 8-4. I’m still thinking we don’t see that surge everybody talks about until next season, absolutely hope I’m wrong though and it comes this season.

Every year the closer we get to the 1st game the better our record by Volnation predictors. By 8/30/2019 the predictions will be 10-2 & 11-1 by some happens every year. Then reality sets in.

Good thing it doesn't hurt anything, and maybe eventually we'll get lucky and be right. Haha.

I know "but Muschamp", I still think we win that one.

Yeah I don’t know if Pruitt does this or not, but I think that South Carolina game is the one game you circle on the schedule this year.

USC isn't worthy of a circle. You circle Florida.

Disagree. If we lose to Florida, life goes on and we can still have a great season. Lose to sc and the wheels might start falling off.

My point is USC is not a threat this year, so it's a non issue.

 

[alexbond45]

Tennessee beats SCar this year, book it.

I hope so! I’m going this year, gonna be my first time at Neyland so I’m wanting to see an ass whuppin

Head coach has our number. Experienced QB. What could go wrong?

Nobody really talks about it, but TN/SC has been about as competitive as any game on our schedule the past 15 years.

 

[CA_Vol]

I think this is about right. A step in the right direction. Make a bowl. Recruit. Build this thing to last.

 

[Boca Vol]

There is no reason this team can't go 7-1 at home and 1-3 on the road.

I see threads about the impact of Neyland Stadium, well it boils down to winning. Beating: GA St., BYU, UTC, USC, Miss St., UAB, and Vandy should be the expectation if UT is finally getting better.

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

I think Florida is being slightly overhyped this year.

I think it’s possible, but we should have beaten Florida a lot this past decade but we can’t seem to get it done

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

I agree with this except we’ve got a good shot to take S.C. It’s disheartening not to be able to say that about Mizzo.

 

[Seattle Hillbilly]

Good thing it doesn't hurt anything, and maybe eventually we'll get lucky and be right. Haha.

Yep, nothing wrong with optimism. I may even try it someday.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Overlooking UK. They lost Bennie, but they don't suck.

 

[XknoxvolsX]

Consensus 7-5.

Spot on. If it changes it will be a surprise upset and a surprise win. Not one, but, both.

 

[Nationdom]

Overlooking UK. They lost Bennie, but they don't suck.

They lost the best defensive player they've ever had. They lost their entire secondary, they have a bad QB, they have no depth. They might win 6 games this year and we beat them by 21+.

 

[Rocky_Top_Vol13]

Good sweetness I hope we beat MsSt...a 5 game skid in the center of the season could destroy our psyche and chances at winning anything past UAB...and perhaps even UAB.

 

[Behr]

Not saying you're one of them , but some people take this crap way to seriously.

And Kentucky Sucks too.

 

[xpsyclonex2002]

I won't be happy unless we steal at least 1 of those losses.

 

[SmilezDavis]

All five Vandy fans must be livid.

 

[Pride85]

Muschamp has never lost to UT. You do know that.

And?.......
