ESPN FPI now favoring our Vols

[zeppelin128]

I feel like I did the week of Bama 22 and Bama 24. Something is in the air again...

The good guys take care of business this weekend in a dramatic, close game down to the wire.

Kirby is going to Jedi mind trick his team with this into believing they are 3TD underdogs....

From your keyboard to God's ears.

It comes down to two things...........the offense being able to get some push up front with the running game, which will open up the passing game, and the defense being aggressive for 4 quarters.

I would rather see them go down defensively being too aggressive then sit back in zone D and let them move it at will.

We HAVE to put pressure on Stockton and make him uncomfortable. If the front 4 aren't getting home send 5/6. We cannot let him just sit back there and get in a rhythm

That and we have to do better against their TEs. Past that, on O we just need to make plays one on one against their DBs. Do that to make their safeties help against the pass and we have a great shot.

ESPN is trying to give UGA bulletin board material; there is no way they (ESPN) would favor UT.

That FPI is an algorithm that spits out numbers.

The spread in Vegas is still 3.5 but here is ESPN analytics right now:

STOP IT! Joey and CJH are gonna dominate. Think Positive. Be Positive. Script gonna be flipped come Saturday in Ktown. Go Vols!

That's right, transmutation

The only thing that matters is will the Vols be able to control the line of scrimmage. Haven't been remotely close to doing this in a very long time.

This is absolutely the key. The team that wins in the trenches will very likely win the game. Not sure what I think about who is better here. We will see Saturday

I assure you Georgia fans and every other fanbase believes everyone hates them.

Who is wills backup? Pull wills scholly, teams always score on him!

ESPN's FPI has been one of the few things to be right about Tennessee going into 2025. I think they'll be right once again. We're gonna win this Saturday.

This is a kiss of death.

TN is screwed

Even in our lucky win against UGA in 2016, they still kind of controlled the lines of scrimmage.

Lucky? They had a Hail Mary seconds before our Hail Mary.

I vote yes, but think big MO will play a bigger than normal role in this game. Just don’t have a clue who is on the good end of the stick. A few bounces, a few errors, and a few calls that do not offset scare me.

And it won't matter cause we're the better team this year.
