Tennessee vs. BYU, Sep. 7
Nathanael’s Pick
BYU has enough to make this game close and to challenge the Vols for four quarters, but I think Tennessee is just better overall. The Cougars have some match-ups that go in their favor for sure, but this is a game UT should still be able to win by double digits as long as they don’t force the issue or turn the ball over a ton. BYU does get an extra couple days to rest before they play Tennessee, but the Vols should still put up a decent amount of points in this one.
Score: 31-20, Tennessee
Ben’s Pick
I don’t have much confidence in either team’s defense with depth being a concern for both units. But I really like Tennessee’s offense, as I do BYU’s, on paper. This game will be much closer than Tennessee fans are anticipating, as the Cougars have the potential to be a good team this season. Ultimately, I believe Marquez Callaway leads the Vols to a close, exciting win over a BYU secondary that lacks depth
Score: 34-31, Tennessee

All that will really matter will be the day that the Vols lose to Vandy for the 4th year in a row!
Ben your take on the BYU game is dumb, but if Jayson says UT will mop BYU, you will back pedal and get Nathaniel to change this article???
