Says take UT at -11, we will win by 17.
"Last week's close call against Appalachian State has many Volunteer fans in a panic, with many around the nation labeling Tennessee overrated. I think it was the best thing to happen to the Vols -- they came in a little overconfident after reading their press clippings. App State is a veteran, underrated team. I look for a much different Volunteer squad to show up Saturday in a game they might have been looking ahead to last week. Virginia Tech is a good team, but the Hokies catch the Vols in the wrong week...."

Vegas (composite of Bruce Marshall of The Gold Sheet, Phil Steele and ESPN's Football Power Index) has UT at #6 after week 1.
"The top five teams are the same in some order in all three of the ratings -- and this is where the ratings start to differentiate. Tennessee barely survived a matchup against Appalachian State last Thursday, but all three metrics still put the Volunteers in the top 10. Their odds to win the championship remained at 12-1 despite the close call."
