College Football News picks Vols by two

[Freak]

What’s Going To Happen
It’s a much, much bigger game for Pitt than it is for Tennessee.

The ACC desperately needs a win over a brand name team, and Pitt needs to show it’s going to be a player in the conference race by going on the road and coming up with a good performance.

The Panthers have an advantage with QB Kenny Pickett, and that defensive front will be a problem, but the Vols will pull it off at home by controlling the clock and matching the D on the other side big play for big play.

I appreciate the ATS Confidence level being listed as 1. That's typically where my confidence level is at when betting on the Vols.

I hope they are right but I'm not holding my breath for the outcome or maybe I should

 

[AdoptedVOL]

Did they happen to give total offense yards for vols? I still need to get this weeks pick in.

I can’t bring myself to bet on the vols. But I do like 3.5.

 

[Capt Straight]

Maybe worrying about a signature win over an SEC opponent will be too much pressure for them.

 

[BlackFox]

I hate to say it, but I think the Vols get beat.

 

[OLEVOLFAN]

I hate to say it, but I think the Vols get beat.

Well I'm proud to say it, I think the Vols win

Vols by 7.

 

[spyfish007]

Did I read that correctly that UT would control the clock....??

 

[NO SIR EEE]

Vols by 7.

Vols by 14

 

[IndianaVol]

Just as I thought when this schedule was first released...coin flip.
I do believe that IF we can control the tempo, we win...lapse into the Vols of the 2nd quarter from last week and we don't.

 

[Dudleys87]

Running back by comity and plays in space.

Tennessee can stop the run and so far tackle well.

Co Mays back under center lean on the run make a few plays passing the ball and break their spirit slowly.

Crowd stays in it all 4 quarters

The coach regrets making comments on the noise.

Vols by 14+

You can almost guarantee execution will be a major focus point in practice this week. Theyll be better and ready.

There is a lot of pressure on Pitt going into this game.

There is a lot of pressure on Pitt going into this game.

Yep. The ACC desperately needs to win against the SEC and they’ll look to Pitt to do it. Tennessee needs to come out and set the tone early and never let up.

 

[ILOVEMYBIGVOLS]

I took the good guys +3, I’m hoping they all take a big step forward from week one and really put the screws to Pitt!

I'm biased, but it's a way more important game for us than it is for them.

We have an SEC schedule in our face right after this. They got two gimmies and the weak ass ACC after this.

We are trying to get bowl eligible and prove that we are a mid pack SEC team. A win here gets us well on our way to that.

They will go to a bowl game and nothing is going to change the fact that they are a mid pack ACC team. Even if they beat us they still have Clemson, UNC, VT, Miami and UVA. Clemson is a guaranteed loss and they aren't running the table against those other teams.

A win could help them a lot, but only if we get our stuff together, otherwise beating a 5-7 SEC team doesn't mean Squat when you have a .500 record in the SEC.

 

[aaronvol]

The question is, "Do you get Young back?" If so, I think we make one or two more big plays on D and pull this one out.

 

[LurkerExposed]

The Johnny Majors Bowl......

 

[VolBricks]

Just looked at the coaches poll that came out
Pitt - 32nd
Tenn - 74th

Looks like we are getting beat might as well not play this game

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

CFN has a good history of picking winners. I have won a lot of weeks of office pickem contests over the yrs using their picks.

 

[UnkieVol]

Did I read that correctly that UT would control the clock....??

This guy has ZERO concept of how Heupel's offense works.

 

[Volador]

Placing UT as a favorite is like a certain "Death Wish". For the past 20 years, we hardly know how to win, let alone from being placed in the favorite position. And, so for us to be a favorite after beating lowly BG removes all bulletin board fodder from our locker room and places it now on the Pitt locker room. Can't understand anyone who thinks being a favorite after one game is good. We need the carrot in front of us for the entire rest of the season.

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

Pitt has a good team, but I think Tennessee is gonna be ready for this one! GBO!!!!!!
