One of the guys on ESPN took Tennessee as Pick'em last night but I didn't hear the explanation.Pate is picking KY bc basically every model has KY winning with 65%+ confidence and some over 70%. He tries to take his own opinion out of it. It’s a weird dynamic this week. Are we just belligerent homers or is the model wrong? I’m saying the model is wrong.

We are belligerent homers...but I think this game is a toss-up at best. Kentucky is a solid football team and people thinking we are gonna roll them are going to be very disappointed.Pate is picking KY bc basically every model has KY winning with 65%+ confidence and some over 70%.

I hope you're right. Our run Defense is good against RBs, but it is absolutely horrid against running QBs..especially on crucial third downs.One of the guys on ESPN took Tennessee as Pick'em last night but I didn't hear the explanation.
From a non-biased perspective it probably does make sense to play Kentucky.
At home, hated rival, coming off a disappointing loss, ranked over unranked, etc.
I think the Vols have a matchup advantage though with our run-D and poor passing.
