They call Thanksgiving weekend “Rivalry Week” and this is why Vanderbilt is playing Missouri.
That’s right: the SEC, in its infinite wisdom, took Tennessee off Vanderbilt’s schedule this week (rumor has it the game will be played December 12, though this hasn’t been confirmed) and replaced them with Missouri, a team that we don’t consider a rival at all. We don’t even recognize them, in fact. So what do our writers think will happen on Saturday? Let’s find out!

Do I believe Vanderbilt has been playing better over the last few weeks? Sure, though no, I don’t buy Richard Johnson’s take that giving up 38 points to Florida constituted a good performance for the defense.
