The staff sees the Vols reaching 8-4 with a win over Vanderbilt, but they're thoroughly divided on Tennessee covering a three-score spread against a solid defense.
For the third week in a row, the Rocky Top Talk staff has had a poor read on the Vols, as Tennessee delivered a 19-8 win over Missouri that was quite a bit more comfortable than our projections. Despite being the only staff member to correctly pick the winner against the spread, Hunter lost Closest to the Pin to Will, whose 20-13 prediction was just four off the final margin and six off the final total.
