First-year head coach Jeremy Pruitt and his Tennessee football team roll into action on Sept. 1 against the West Virginia Mountaineers. If you ask anyone outside of Knoxville, Tennessee does not have a chance in that game, much less the rest of the season.
Vegas has the win total at 5.5 games which would be an improvement from the worst season in program history. However, there is talent on this team, and with the right coaching, you never know what could happen.
Tennessee will be underdogs in a lot of games, and if teams decide to overlook them, the Vols could surprise the nation.
