No breaking Cam Newton news tonight. We don’t have the pictures of the new NFL uniforms 2010. We do wish Washington Redskins QB Colt Brennan the best following his serious car accident that left the former Hawaii QB with broken ribs, broken left collarbone and head injuries.
Matt Rivers says your free pick and predictions winner Saturday is on the Tennessee Volunteers -9 at Vanderbilt.
Certainly the Tennessee program is not what it used to be but if there is one thing that Derek Dooley’s team has been able to do it’s pound an inferior opponent. The Vols are 4-6 overall and a poor 1-5 in the rugged SEC but things are looking a lot better right now with this team. UT just dismantled both Memphis and Mississippi in the past two games and opened the season with a 50-0 whitewashing of Tennessee Martin proving they have the firepower to punish a bad team. Those three victories were by a combined 152-28 and right now with Tyler Bray at quarterback this team is going into Nashville today with a full head of steam.
Let’s also not forget how the Vols won in LSU, at least as far as I’m concerned. The 12 men on the field penalty on the final play prevented the quote unquote win as the Tigers did get the w in the standings but Tennessee truly shocked the world on that day which showed me a ton. Dooley’s boys also held an early 13-3 lead over now number one Oregon earlier in the season and were tied fairly late with both Florida and just a few weeks ago at South Carolina. It’s never the greatest steal to lay around double digits on the road but these guys are not that bad at all and are up against an absolute mess of a team in Vanderbilt with a potential bowl berth still on the line.
The Commodores are a banged up dreadful squad that is up against it today. Vandy has lost their top two running backs in Warren Norman and Zac Stacy and are a program that is once again clearly the doormat of the conference. Tailback Kennard Reeves did do a nice job filling in last week but I don’t see that lightning striking twice here. Robbie Caldwell’s defense is anemic and their offense isn’t much better. In the last three games alone the ‘Dores have been outscored by a whopping 142-48 as they continue to give up big play after big play which doesn’t bode well against a red hot Bray.
Tennessee is playing great, fighting to get bowl eligible, has won 26 of the last 27 games in the series and are up against a well inferior and beat up Vanderbilt team. That’s a bit too much for the home team to overcome and should result in another easy Tennessee victory.

For more information: Matt Rivers is calling today the biggest Saturday of the season probably isn’t giving this day the due it deserves. I am not a quantity guy as more times than not I release a few plays and that’s all. But today I truly love the college football slate and will not pass up its immense value. Therefore I am releasing five fire-hot plays including two, yes two, major 400,000* plays including Missouri-Iowa State and Ohio State-Iowa. A pair of 300,000* plays involving Northern Illinois-Ball State plus Troy-South Carolina and a 200,000* from Wrigley Field in this Big 10 clash between Illinois and Northwestern.
