GONNA BE FINE IN WEEK NINE. More Winning. Less Whining.

Last week was brutal. No way to sugar coat the truth as we went 2-6 in our picks in what turned out to be the craziest Saturday so far this season. Tons of upsets with a big shake up in the Top Ten.

But all was not lost. 

Some slippage but still stellar

Although we picked South Carolina to win, the Vols pulled a big upset with a game ending field goal to give bUTch Jones his first SEC victory. And while we picked Florida to win, it's always special when the Gators lose. And then we have the Georgia Bulldogs. We picked them to win but Vandy had something to say about that in Nashville as the Bulldog nation has gone curiously quiet the last couple of weeks. That happens when you're favored to win the SEC East and even be considered to be in the National Championship mix and then you fall flat. Yes, the injury bug has bitten the mutts but the reality is their defense has been a liability all season and the inconsistent play of Murray has surfaced once again.

So where are we? After 7 weeks of success, we hit a bump in the road - just like everyone else - but we're sitting at an unbelievable 77% success rate. So, stop you're whining and let's focus on winning with another great slate of games.

Your Weekend Winners are...

 

Believe in bUTch

Tennessee @ #1 Alabama...last week we wondered if Tennessee's game with Georgia was a fluke or maybe a sign that the Vols have finally turned the corner. Well, their win over the Gamecocks went a long way to answering that as the Vols sent Visor Boy smirking back to Columbia. But tomorrow is a totally different situation as the Crimson Tide plays host to bUTch Jones and Company and the odds makers are showing zero love for Tennessee. When, you might ask, was the last time Tennessee was a 28.5 point dog? Never. So if I'm the head coach my pre-game speech is all about getting zero respect and having nothing to lose, etc., etc. Of course, the Vols have to somehow contain one of the best run games in the SEC with TJ Yeldon and local product, Kenyon Drake, and then somehow force a few turnovers to keep the game close. Last season's game notwithstanding, this match up is typically a close affair, records be damned. We think that might be the case tomorrow. Take Tennessee and the points.

#12 UCLA @ #3 Oregon...what can we say about Oregon? The quackers continue to be dominant on both sides of the ball, scoring 57+ points per game while allowing just 17 points per game. Meanwhile, the Bruin's QB Brett Hundley spent most of last week's game running for his life as Stanford sacked him 4 times. Could it get worse? You bet. Oregon ranks third in the Pac-12 with 20 sacks this season and they'll be licking their bills to go after the young UCLA o-line. Last week's loss to Stanford exposed another side of UCLA. They mustered only 266 yards of offense and only 10 points. Worse, the Bruin defense gave up 419 yds. This game could get ugly as the Ducks send the Bruins packing with another loss.

#10 Texas Tech @ #15 Oklahoma...I first saw the Red Raiders play in the 1973 Gator Bowl. That's got nothing to do with their tango tomorrow with the Sooners; just thought I'd drop it in here. In any case, we like what first year coach Kliff Kingsbury is doing in Lubbock, but the rap on TTU is they haven't really played anybody this season. Well, that changes tomorrow in Norman where the Red Raiders take on a banged up Sooner team which hasn't faced a strong passing attack like TTUs plus they've struggled to stop the run. Kingsbury has been using two different QBs this season and the Mayfield/Webb combo leads the conference in passing completions and is second in yards per game only to Oregon State. That's impressive. And that's why we're riding with the Red Raiders tomorrow and so should you.

Johnny be bad can be great

Vanderbilt @ #16 Texas A&M...Vandy is certainly feeling good after upsetting Georgia last week. But tomorrow is a totally different story as the 'Dores and Aggies meet for the first time ever. Vandy will be with out their quarterback that was injured last week but the Aggie defense is one of the poorest in the country giving up 490+ yards per game and 6.7 per play. But as you know, Texas A&M also scores a ton of points especially when Johnny Football gets hot. The Aggies are an 18 point favorite, and they'll cover. Take the Aggies and count your cash.

Tigers on their way to Atlanta

#21 South Carolina @ #5 Missouri...Tennessee gets credit for taking out another top play maker as South Carolina quarterback Connor Shaw left last week's game in Knoxville with a knee injury. That's a big deal since the Gamecocks, so dependent on Shaw's arm and legs to fuel their offense, take on a fired up Mizzou team that is now in the driver's seat in the SEC East. Who woulda thunk it? In just their second year in the SEC, the Tigers are fast becoming a force in a division long dominated by Florida and Georgia. And tomorrow Coach Pinkel has one more opportunity to show the rest of the SEC that there's a new Tiger in town. Take the Tigers. And if you're a Mizzou fan, go ahead and book your room in Atlanta.

#6 Stanford @ #25 Oregon State...if you're still up late Saturday night be sure to tune into this game because a lot is riding on this contest in terms of Pac-12 rankings. The Beavers are 4-0 in the conference and the Cardinal are coming off a big win over UCLA. Names to note for this game: OSU's Brandin Cooks, the nation's leading receiver, and Stanford's Tyler Gaffney who racked up 171 yards and 2 TDs last week in a typical smash mouth, ground and pound offense. It's only the second home game for the Beavers since September 7 but that won't matter.  Take Stanford in a solid win.

Georgia Tech @ Virginia...I'm going to watch part of this game because I want to see if Johnson's Jackets can win in Charlottesville. UVA has won the last 8 of 9 games with Tech including a 24-21 victory in 2011. The Wahoos have lost four straight coming into this game and the Jackets snapped a three game skid by blowing away Syracuse 56-0 at Bobby Dodd Stadium last week. But the Bees should take care of business because, quite honestly, Virginia stinks and Mike London more than likely will not survive this season. They've averaged only 17 points in conference games and their defense, while stingy with rushing yards, will be missing a couple of key d-line starters. Not good. Unless you're the Jackets who will sting the Cavs at Scott Stadium.

Penn State @ #4 Ohio State...this games makes for a pretty nice evening soire as two of college football's most historic programs mix it up in the Horseshoe and the Buckeyes put their 19 game winning streak on the line. We know tOSU is loaded with talent and we can recite all of Braxton Miller's stats. BUT...and this is a big but...if Penn State's frosh quarterback Christian Hackenberg has a near perfect game and plays with the same poise he had in the win over Michigan, then we like the Nittany Lions...and the 14.5 points.  Lay your money on Penn State as the Lions bite the Buckeyes.

Let's check back tomorrow to see who is winning or whining.

BATTING 88% COMING INTO WEEK EIGHT!

All time best. Jealous?

As we enter Week Eight, we're sporting a batting average of 88% after going 6-2 last Saturday. We missed on the Oregon and Oklahoma games but hit big with our upset special of Mizzou over Georgia.

Your Weekend Winners are...

#5 Florida State @ #3 Clemson...this easily could be the top game of the day with the ACC's first top-five showdown in 8 years. While FSU has not won in Death Valley since 2001, the Noles feature Heisman Trophy candidate Jameis Winston who has thrown for 17 TDs with only 2 INTs. Meanwhile, the Tigers have their own Heisman hopeful, Tajh Boyd, a multi-talentd QB that can kill with his legs as well as his arm. FSU's defense is giving up only 5.2 yards per pass attempt and if they can contain Boyd, the Noles may very well leave Clemson with a huge W that will impact national rankings. We're taking FSU and so should you.

#9 UCLA @ #13 Stanford...two names to know: Hundley and Hogue. UCLA's Brett Hundley lit up the scorebord last week with 410 passing yards over the Cal Golden Bears, the third highest in Bruin history. Not too shabby. Kevin Hogan, meanwhile, has been instrumental in leading Stanford to a 5-1 record but his defense is banged up and we're not sure it's up to the task of slowing down Jim Mora's offense that is averaging 46 point and 547 yards per game (5th and 7th in the county respectfully). Take UCLA and the 6 points. You'll thank me tomorrow.

Southern Cal @ Notre Dame...this is truly a pick em game. USC is trying to rebound after Kiffin gets canned and the Irish are faced with another 'must win' game. We're not fans of Trojan's interim head coach Ed Orgeron but business is business. We're going with Southern Cal to win in South Bend.

#15 Georgia @ Vanderbilt...with a date with the Gators in Jacksonville looming on the horizon, Georgia needs to win big in Nashville as they hope to rebound from last week's loss to Mizzou. Vandy is certain to throw against a soft Bulldog defense that's giving up 38 points per game. And the Dawgs may or may not have phenom Todd Gurley back from injury. Georgia has won ten in a row in Nashville. Make that eleven tommorrow. Dawgs bit the 'Dores.

#22 Florida @ #14 Missouri...we really like what we saw last week when the Tigers beat Georgia on the road in a close one. But the Gator defense is a whole other story and Mizzou will not have their outstanding QB James Franklin (lost for season with a shoulder injury). That's too much for the Tigers to overcome. Gators growl in Columbia.

Syracuse @ Georgia Tech...the Jackets are averaging over 17 pass attempts per game, the highest since Paul Johnson landed at the Flats. The ground game, however, is averaging just 5.2 yards per carry, the lowest yet during his tenure. What's this mean for GT this Saturday? After struggling the last few weeks the Jackets need to get back to basics that include long time consuming drives that net TDs, not just FGs. And, the Tech defense needs to step up its game at crunch times. Can they do it against the 'Cuse? We think so. And that's why we're putting our money on Johnson's Jackets tomorrow.

#6 LSU @ Ole Miss...the Rebs were leading the Aggies last week until Johnny Football pulled off his typical magic and scored twice late in the game to pull out a win in Oxford. That's three big losses in a row for Mister Freeze's black rebel bears (or whatever their athletic director says they can be called this week). It's a meat grinder schedule for Ole Miss and it won't be pretty in Oxford tomorrow. Mettenberger and Company lay another L on Ole Miss.

#11 South Carolina @ Tennessee...was Tennessee's effort against Georgia a fluke or shades of what's to come for an improving Vol squad? We'll find out tomorrow as Neyland Stadium welcomes the Ol Ball Coach to the banks of the Tennessee River in Knoxville. This will be Spurrier's 14th visit to Shield-Watkins Field and he has a long history of creative play calling against the Orange. Butch Jones is looking for more improvement as he rebuilds the Tennessee team "brick by brick." Let's hope they don't lay a brick tomorrow but the Cocks have way too many weapons and Spurrier is that good. Put your cash on the Cocks; Carolina wins.

Let's check back Sunday morning and count our cash.

SEPARATION SATURDAY...WINNERS AND LOSERS

We're another week deeper into the season and it's usually around this time that the "real" winners begin to distance themselves from the wannabees. And that's what we have this weekend with several big matchups that will make or break a program for the balance of the season...and in a few cases, may break a career or two.

So far, we've been hitting big on our picks with a 85% success rate. This week we're putting our streak on the line with some pretty aggressive picks. Take a look. Call in your bets. And let's check back on Monday.

Your Weekend Winners are...

#9 Texas A&M at Ole Miss...the Aggies had a much needed bye week to heal up some of their palyers and to shore up their leaky defense that ranks 112th nationally. Meanwhile Ole Miss has dropped two SEC games in a row and their hoping a return to The Grove will be just what they need. Don't count on it. Ole Missy drops a third as Johnny Football puts on a show.

#25 Mizzou at #7 Georgia...we use to think that Georgia had an unlimited supply of talented playmakers. But thanks to Tennessee, the Dawgs will be missing a few more starters tomorrow when they face off with the Tigers. Tailback Gurley is questionable and Kevin Marshall is out for the season. So is top receiver Scott-Wesley and sure handed Michael Bennett. And let's not forget wr Malcolm Mitchell who suffered a torn ACL doing high fives in the end zone at the beginning of the season. Meanwhile, the Georgia defense is suspect having given up some big points last week to a Vol offense that has been pretty dormant when playing quality opponents. Meanwhile, Mizzou brings in its own explosive offense led by QB James Franklin. He may not be an Aaron Murray but he'll finish the drill in the Classic City. This game could get crazy aka LSU-UGA. UPSET ALERT: Tigers pull an upset in Athens.

Cal at #11 UCLA...the Golden Bears appear to be in a tail spin having lost nine straight games to FBS opponents. Meanwhile the Bruins are heating things up in the PAC-12. UCLA is a heavy favorite, and for good reason: Cal stinks. Put your money on the boys from Westwood.

Georgia Tech at BYU...this game depends largely on which Yellow Jacket team will show up in Provo: a potent offense that can rack up the yards and control the clock? Or, a team that's forgotten how to execute its bread and butter option ground game? Despite the defense playing better, we don't see the Jackets overcoming a Cougar defense that's ranked 17th in points allowed. Lay your cash on the Cougars.

#2 Oregon @ #16 Washington...the Ducks are undefeated but really untested. That changes today as they face a really good Huskie team in Seattle. This game could get silly. Oregon's offense is ranked #2 with 630 yards per game while Washington is ranked 5th at 557 yards. The outcome is going to be decided by which team's defense can come up with some critical stops. Washington has lost nine straight to the Ducks. On Saturday, this comes to an end. Take Washington and the points. UPSET ALERT: Huskies quell the quacks.

#17 Florida @ #10 LSU...this is a pretty good matchup of one of the best defenses (Florida) taking on an explosive offense (LSU).  While the Tiger defense has given up some large numbers (460+ yards in SEC games), we think Chief Chavis will dial up plenty of pressure on the Gators and their quarterback, Tyler Murphy. We're going with the Bengal Tigers in Baton Rouge.

#19 Northwestern at Wisconsin...the Wildcats lost late last week when Ohio State had a late surge that Northwestern couldn't answer. This week NU faces the Big Ten's best rushing attack as Wisconsin averages 300+ yards per game which features tailback Melvin Gordon. As much as we like the Wildcats, we gotta go with the Badgers. Cue the brats and brew; Wisconsin wins.

#12 Oklahoma vs Texas...that easy chair that Mack Brown has been sitting in is getting hotter by the moment so tomorrow is a must-win situation for the Longhorns if their coach has any chance of surviving in Austin. Sooner QB Blake Bell is playing well with ZERO INTs in 104 pass attempts - ranked 5th among FBS schools. Oklahoma is favored by 14 big points and we see know reason to go against that spread. Take the Sooners in this year's Red River Rivalry.

MEET MISTER BIG TEN.

Do you believe?

We had another great weekend with our picks, going 7 of 8 for the day. Our only mis-step was Ole Miss choking at Auburn. As I've said before, Ole Missy is one of the toughest teams to predict. You say win, they lose. You say lose, they win. Frustrating. We also came close to missing out on the Georgia-Tennessee game as the Vols and Dawgs battled to the end in what is sure to be a classic, and Ohio State escaped Evanston with a late game win over Northwestern.

But, thru six weeks, we are batting an incredible 85%. And that, my friends, translates into some serious cash and a higher income bracket.

 

Special Guest. Special Insight.

Mister Big Ten in Vegas

Today we welcome Francisco Castelan (aka Fran, Franny, Fran the Man, Pancho) as he provides a special perspective on Saturday's matchup between Northwestern and Wisconsin.

Most likely you've never met Fran but he's an important behind-the-scenes player at Woolard's Weekend Winners.  Fran is our "runner." What's that you ask? It's pretty straightforward. As we post our predictions every Friday, Fran is responsible for communicating our picks to our Las Vegas sports book where rubber meets the road. While Fran could handle all of this with a simple phone call to Vegas, he prefers flying to this desert oasis and personally submitting our picks. We're not sure but we think he has a thing for limos, show girls, and playing the tables. In any event, Fran is a high roller when it comes to making things happen.

Unique Background

Fran is "MISTER BIG TEN."

Fran at NU's Ryan Field

Having grown up in Chicago, Fran graduated from the University of Illinois where he developed his love for Big Ten football as a Fighting Illini.  Yearning for brats and brews, Fran headed north to Madison, Wisconsin where he majored in Badger football while earning a masters degree. Then, after a brief stint at the University of Wyoming where he managed their rodeo program, Fran heeded the call of the Second City and returned to Chicago where he joined Northwestern University as one of the lead academic advisors for pre-med students in Evanston. He can personally attest that the team has several future doctors currently on the gridiron.

So, Fran knows his Big Ten football: the trials and tribulations at Illinois. The 'jump around' craziness at Wisconsin. And now the resurgence of Northwestern Wildcat football, Chicago's Big Ten Team.

Fran is prepared to provide his prediction for the Wildcat-Badger contest, but first, a little Q&A with Mister Big Ten.

Time for Q&A with Mister Big Ten.

WWW:  Any big differences between Wisconsin and Northwestern football?
FRAN:   The biggest thing is the atmosphere. Madison is a true college town and the entire community is all about Badger football in the fall. With Northwestern, the football vibe is more contained to campus. Plus being located so close to Chicago there's a lot going on, not just NU football.

WWW:  There seems to be a resurgence with the Widlcat program. True?
FRAN:  Until the last few years Northwestern had hit or miss success. But now with the team's success, there's a lot of momentum building in Evanston. Really neat to see that.

Corso and Company on campus

WWW:  There was some excitement at Northwestern last week. What gives?
FRAN:   Excitement, you bet!  ESPN's College Game Day was on campus for the Ohio State-NU game, plus the Mike & Mike show set up right across from my office. So we had a lot of on-campus buzz all week and the students, faculty, and fans really

got into it. Sort of helps when you have NU alumni in high places.

Can't beat the taste of a brat

WWW:  What exactly is a Wisconsin brat and what makes them so tasty?
FRAN:   A Wisconsin brat is a German sausage (red or white) that is boiled in onions, butter, and beer. PBR is always a good option for the beer. Once it's boiled, you slap those babies on the grill. Pure heaven!

WWW:   What's your favorite football memory?
FRAN:   Hands down it's got to be the 2000 Rose Bowl in Pasadena where I saw Ron Dayne run like a maniac and rack up 200 yards on 34 carries. He was named MVP as the Badgers won 17-9 over Stanford. Great game, great experience!

Football at The Friendly Confines

WWW:  As a Cubs fan, how do you feel about Northwestern playing games at Wrigley Field?
FRAN:   First, I live about 3 blocks from Wrigley so you can't beat the convenience! But I think it's pretty cool to see Big Ten football played there, especially as Northwestern positions itself as Chicago's Big Ten Team. So far no footballs have been lost in the ivy.

WWW:  Last question. Any hope for the Cubs?
FRAN:   There's always next year!!

FRAN'S TAKE ON NORTHWESTERN vs WISCONSIN

Wisconsin rumbled with Ohio State two weeks ago and was sent into a bye week licking their wounds, while Northwestern maintained its top 20 ranking after being run over by a late surging Ohio State last week. Both of these teams are looking to bounce back and pride is on the line. It will be interesting to see how Northwestern handles a Wisconsin team that left a bad taste in their mouth on their last encounter (Badgers won 70-23 in 2010).

Ready to roll north to Camp Randall

Working at Northwestern, it was magical to see Big Ten football come to life on campus and to see ESPN and football being the focus of homecoming - truly inspiring of a building football team and fan base. Typically any sport-related energy on the NU campus is focused on golf, women’s lacrosse, soccer, engineering and being premed (not necessarily in that order).  The inside scoop? My scouts, who also happen to be premed, have brought to my attention the secret weapon for NU football this season. The Wildcats not only bring the smarts to the field, they come prepared with their latest weapon- a good night’s rest - and mandatory nap time on game day.

Wisconsin football was my first real introuction to hard core college football, so from my perspective, the Wildcats will need to be ready for a larger crowd and a larger game in Madison. Northwestern football will get a feel for a true homecoming football game at Camp Randall.

Even though the Badgers are not ranked, the offense, led by running back Melvin Gordon (68 carries/698 yards and 7 TDs for the season) will bounce back after a tough loss to Ohio State and eventually take the game. It will be a battle both in the air and on the ground from both teams. Northwestern will need to close the deal in the second half if they are going to be able to take out Wisconsin, but only if they can build a hearty lead in the first half.

I'm cheering for a breakout TD catch by Jared Abbrederis (averaging 114 receiving yards/game) to kick off the first quarter. And as those beer boiled brats are moved to the grill, the cheers will be echoing from the streets of the State Capitol all the way to the shores of Lake Michigan. Well, maybe to the shores of Lake Wisconsin.

I'm betting on the running games to be established by the second quarter - - just in time for the cheese curds to be coming out of the deep fryer. And if Wisconsin did their homework watching NU vs. Ohio State film from last week, their oversized lines should be ready for Northwestern. NU will need to bring speed and grit to a Wisconsin team that has had 13 first round draft picks in the last 15 years.

This Badger means business

So, I’m making the call that the Badgers take this one 34-27. So everyone get ready to Jump Around!

Be sure to check back tomorrow for our winning picks for Saturday!

OCTOBERFEST OF FOOTBALL FUN AND FROLIC

After another great weekend in which we went 6-2 in our picks, we're now getting into the thick of things as we enter Week Six with some really great games on tap. Last week we just missed on two games, otherwise we would have been a perfect 8 for 8. Ohio State escaped our upset alert game by holding off the Badgers. And the Bulldogs in Athens won a super shoot out over LSU in which neither team's defense could handle the other quarterback.

But now it's time to focus on a new slate of games, and to make some mo money.

YOUR WEEKEND WINNERS ARE...

#25 Maryland @ #8 Florida State...both teams enter this game undefeated and looking for more. Just when you think the days are limited for Randy Edsel at Maryland, the Terps have a resurgence as they head into Tally Town to take on a loaded FSU tribe that's been averaging 51 points per game. QB Famous Jameis Winston is lighting it up for the Noles, leading the ACC with a completion percentage of 74%. But tomorrow he's going up against a pretty stout Terrapin defense that's allowed only 10 points per game and has registered 17 sacks and 8 INTs in its first four matches. So, there's plenty of reason to Fear the Turtle. But with so many weapons, we're going with the Seminoles in this one.

Georgia Tech @ #14 Miami...where oh where has my offense gone, asks Coach Paul Johnson. With his Jackets playing pretty good defense last week against the Hokies, GT's option offense was MIA with only 129 rushing yards which contributed to the Jacket's 17-10 loss. What a buzz kill! But this Saturday, the Ramblin Wreck has a chance to knock off a pretty strong Hurricane team that has plenty of weapons in its arsenal. While we're tempted to take the points, we're putting our money on Al Golden's Canes to stay perfect and beat the Jackets. That's a stinger!

#10 LSU @ Mississippi State...You know what's worse than playing LSU? It's playing LSU after they've lost a close road game. You can bet that Les Miles will have his Tigers ready to work out their frustrations as they roll into Starkville...and out of Starkville with a win. Tigers handle the mutts.

#15 Washington @ #5 Stanford...another game of undefeateds! The Huskies have been putting a lot of bite into their bark, especially with their passing game, but the Cardinal has handled everything thrown their way. Stanford's QB Kevin Hogan has done nothing but win since he took over as starting QB (9-0). This game goes along way to positioning the winner for the Pac-12, and another notch in Stanford's belt for a national championship bid. Go with the Cardinal in this one.

#4 Ohio State @ #16 Northwestern...Evanston has been going crazy all week with ESPN College GameDay crews bopping all around this leafy campus. Corso and Company are setting up camp right by the Lake and you can bet that the Wildcat faithful will be turning out in purple Saturday morning. Both schools are undefeated, with tOSU surviving a scare from the Badgers last week to continue the nation's longest winning streak (17) for Urban Meyer. And both teams have similar offensive numbers. The difference? Buckeye's Braxton Miller. We've love what Fitzpatrick is doing with his Wildcats but business is business. Thus, we're backing the Buckeyes in what will be the weekend's best game.

TCU @ #11 Oklahoma...before the season I might have had this game circled since the Horned Frogs were getting plenty of pre-season hype but they've hit a couple of bumps in the road. But coming off a 48-17 rout over SMU, TCU may be ready to tango with the Sooners and re-insert  themselves in the Big 12 race. QB Trevone Boykin was hot last week as he led five straight scoring drives with TCU topping off the fourth quarter with 31 points. And this could be the perfect trap game for the Sooners as they finally won in South Bend last week, and they play Texas in the Red River Shootout next week. Stoops' crew leads the series 8-4. Make that 9-5 after tomorrow. Sooner Schooners sail.

#24 Ole Miss @ Auburn...the rebs were undefeated until they remembered they were ole miss as Mister Freeze's rebs embarrassed themselves last week in Tuscaloosa. Having averaged 490 yards and 38 points per game, the rebbys were held to 205 yds, zero points, stopped on numerous third and fourth downs and even forced into a safety late in the game. Serves long hair qb Bo Cooper right as he mouthed off all week that the Bama defense was grossly over rated. Oops. But as much as I would delight in having Auburn win, I think the rebs will regroup and rebound over the Tigers/War Eagles/Plainsmen/Dying Oaks. Ole Miss in a yawner.

AND GEORGE THE CAT'S BIG PICK OF THE WEEK featuring #6 Georgia @ Tennessee...

 Is there any chance for the malingered Vols to pull an upset over the Dawgs as UGA visits Neyland Stadium? Sure, anything can happen; that's why we play the game, right? Well, to date, Tennessee has shown us nothing to suggest that they even have a hint of a chance of winning. Zero. Nada. Zip. With a poor offense and a hit or miss defense, Tennessee can only hope that Georgia is looking the other way and sleep walks thru the game. Don't count on it. BUT...don't take my word for it. Let's see what George the Cat thinks in his BIG PICK of THE WEEK...
