Eh, they had us at -13.5 last week too and not sure anyone needs a reminder how that went

Which Florida team shows up in a hostile environment? The one that put up 24 points in the first half or the one that went into turtle mode and posted a goose egg in the 2nd half at home last week? I could see this one getting out of hand in the second half in front of that crowd.

This game won’t be close in any sense of the word. Our offensive line is just that….offensive.
Florida cannot control the line of scrimmage and because of that they can’t run the ball to shorten the game.
Mertz can’t throw an accurate ball over 10 yards.
Florida will have so many three and outs it will dumbfound anyone watching the game except for those of us who have watched Billy since his arrival.
The defense will be gassed by the five minute mark.
The dummy running the offense who thinks you score points by throwing the ball to the sideline is a miserable failure as an offensive coordinator.
The defense has played one game where they looked a half step better than anemic against a UCF team will be run over and passed over like a thumbtack on a railroad track.
I predict this game will be over by the 6 minute mark in the first quarter.
Final score 45-3

It's Tennessee so Gators are confident that they can win, even with Napier as the coach. Zook, Mullen, Muschamp, McElway and even Napier last year have beaten Tenny no matter how bad the Gator's were. The Vols see those orange helmets and start choking.

Neither because Tennessee isn't a garbage team like UCF.
This one will be over by halftime.

If our offensive staff decides to let their multi-million dollar QB off the leash some I think we have a shot to cover. Why even pay him if you're just going to play this ball control style offense?
Or maybe he just isn't as good as we and pretty much every talent evaluator in the country thought. I think that's unlikely, but possible.
You MIGHT can turtle up and beat Arkansas (emphasis on the might there after this Saturday) but you won't be able to do that against Bama and Georgia. You have to let the kid loose a bit and let him make some mistakes so hes a little more grown up in crunch time.

Based on last week's games, this is going to be a lot closer than people think.

Tennessee was overconfident last week, but they won't be this week. It's going to be a thrashing. Which will lead the Vols to be overconfident next week and get throttled by Bama.

I think we’ll beat Florida.
Ain’t no fricking way we’re covering though.

Let's be honest, we are a home team under Heupel and almost always look mediocre on the road even in 2022 with Hooker and Hyatt. Vols will look like a playoff team finally again imo but no one will care because it's Florida. Losing to Arkansas was just inexcusable.

I think all the Florida fans are just scared to bet on their team because they watch the games and see how putrid this team is.

Hard to say. The curse stuff is kind of out the window in the away game now since TN won 2 of the last 4 there. I think we either pull the big upset or get blown out by more than 2 TDs.

Our star running back Sampson just admitted to a reporter that they were a little too high on themselves and kind of overlooked Arky even with the bye week.
That's on Heupel and no one else. He needs to stop being such a player's coach and kick some arse.
First lesson should be making Nico run suicide drills until he pukes infront of the entire team while everyone just stands and watches for every single wide open rushing lane on tape that he refuses to run into.

Scoring 16 points if we shut them out will be a challenge enough. Much less scoring 16 more than them.

Nobody overlooks anyone off a bye week.

Just like the fans. Overconfident as hell. You guys didn't give Arkansas a chance even though they were at home. You can say the fans have no effect on the players, but they hear it. They are on social media.

They did though and you could see it in their body language from the start.
This isn't a slight against Arkansas because i believe they will get better and better every game and ruin a lot of people 's seasons this year.....this is a slight against Heupel and the entire Vols coaching staff.
Arkansas has potential to be a major problem with petrino, that defense and that Greene kid the QB i mean. Wouldn't want to play them again.
