Finally, Tennessee picked to dominate the SEC East. It’s been a long hard road back. Butch has done a good job of building depth while adding quality starters. Just when the stars seem to be lining up over Rocky Top, Vol-Nation will be let down yet again. This time will be bad just because of the spotlight and hype that has surrounded Tennessee this offseason. Tennessee will drop 2-3 games. I think this year Tennessee will have a great shot of breaking the Florida streak but we all know that’s easier said than done. I think Tennessee is the better team between the two but I think at this point it’s more of a mental game than a football game. Tennessee has the tools to beat Florida in front of Vol-Nation this year. That’s my “flip a coin” loss for Tennessee. Win or lose, the following week Tennessee will travel to Athens, Ga to either be knocked off their high horse or for the wound to be ripped a little bit bigger. Tennessee will be coming off a very emotional against Florida and UGA will take advantage of it. UGA will be ready for payback after last years meltdown on Rocky Top. With a new coach at the helm in Ga, Kirby will have the Dawgs ready to pounce. Nick Chubb will do his thing and Dawg-Nation will help pull UGA through for the victory. Last but not least, Bama will the streak alive over Tennessee. Alabama is one of those teams that isn’t phased by playing away from home. Also Bama will be Tennessee’s 4th straight SEC game and Tennessee will be a little beat up. Tennessee seems to be on the right track but that track doesn’t lead to Atlanta for a rematch against Alabama this year. I’m saying Tennessee drops 2 for sure and a maybe against the Gators this year. Keep on fighting Vol-Nation. You’ll get there….. Maybe.
