Man, I got 8 right and still dropped 4 spots. lol Dawg gone all you guys getting 9 & 10 right. Another tough week so I will probably fall out of contention here. All could be toss ups imho.

It's a shame that Tennessee fans pick against Tennessee.

No it's not. TN fans want TN to win. But, they have enough sense to recognize when we are likely to lose to a better football team. Picking an underdog because of a hunch, or because of some rationale reason to think there could be an upset, is fine. To siimply pick a big underdog because you prefer that they win is probably not a winning strategy. It's a lot like having a really ugly spouse. Nothing wrong with it, and they can give you plenty of years of enjoyment and love. But, if you really think they stand a shot at putting on a skimpy swimsuit and carrying off the Miss America title, then you've had the lights dimmed a bit too long.

What do you even win? A gift card doesn't mean that much to me.

I split the difference. My head for Pick-em and my heart for predict the score. :)

Doesn't matter if it's just for fun. Apparently, if the Vls were playing the Packers, you'd choose the Vols, just so you could say "I don't pick against my beloved school." It's okay, pick the Vols. Nobody objects. I certainly don't. I simply pointed out that, in my opinion, it wasn't shameful for others to go another route. It's all good.
