Georgia's national championship victory over TCU is less than a week old, but the news and offseason never stops in college football - and that's especially true in the SEC. The Bulldogs will be heavily favored to win the SEC next season, which means 13 other teams have already started to aim for coach Kirby Smart's program and how to topple the…

At the beginning of the season, I made predictions for the 14 teams in the SEC. Time to pay the piper. I'll begin with those in which I was a little off base - or maybe I should say out of bounds. I was certain Bryce Young would repeat as the winner of the Heisman. This year, he wasn't even one of the four players invited to New York for the…

college football odds series for our Tennessee Vanderbilt prediction and pick. The Tennessee Volunteers have something to play for this week, and it's not just the fact that Vanderbilt is a disliked in-state rival. No, this game goes beyond bragging rights, though bragging rights for the next 52 weeks of the year are certainly important. Tennessee…

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) - It's rivalry week for most of the Southeastern Conference. The Egg Bowl. The Iron Bowl. The Palmetto Bowl. The Sunshine Showdown. Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate. The Battle Line Rivalry. It's a chance for everyone to either avoid or add to the powerhouse league's recent chaos. Thirteen of 14 SEC teams - everyone except Texas A&M…

College football rivalry week is always so bittersweet: It's what we've been waiting for, and the buffet of games we get on this week is incredible. Meaningful games, day after day, hour after hour, with bowl or championship implications in so many of them. But then, when Saturday ends, it's just about over. Sure, championship week is fun, and who…

In what will be the 117th matchup between Tennessee and Vanderbilt, this rivalry goes all the way back to 1892. And you might be surprised to learn since 2012, the series is an even split 5-5, although the Volunteers have won the last three contests. Vanderbilt is 0-4 against the spread this year against ranked opponents, 1-4 ATS as the home team…

Celebrated from coast to coast by sports fans, bag men, mafia kings and mathematicians, Joe vs. the Pro and the Hero is the greatest resource for college football shenanigans on the internet. This is the 13th season for Joe vs. the Pro and the Hero in its various forms. Joe is the reigning king of the picks, but we could only find a jester's cap'n'…

We thought it would be an average day of football, but the underdogs had other plans. The day started with TCU defeating Baylor as time ticked away, while Michigan also needed a last second field goal to remain undefeated. But it was South Carolina that threw a wrench into the College Football Playoff, beating 5th ranked Tennessee and ending the…

Colorado's disastrous 2022 campaign is not getting any easier. The Buffs got trounced by Bo Nix and Oregon in Week 9. A date with Lincoln Riley and USC awaits in Week 10. CBS Sports' Tom Fornelli takes a twist on traditional rankings with the weekly "The Bottom 25," and Colorado headlines the basement of FBS college football. Colorado fired Karl…

Two kicks: one with nine seconds left, one with zeroes on the clock. Just one miss would've rewritten this year's predictable College Football Playoff picture; had both gone awry, the playoff race would've imploded into chaos just steps from the finish line of the regular season. No team in the Bowl Subdivision is more adept at winning close games…

college football odds series for our Vanderbilt Kentucky prediction and pick. The Kentucky Wildcats have a lot of injuries and have had to deal with so many disruptions to their roster and their season. It's true that Tennessee has risen to the top tier of the SEC East in ways which Kentucky could do nothing about. The Vols were a better team than…

Alabama's 15-game winning streak against Tennessee is in jeopardy Saturday at Neyland Stadium. The betting line tells you that. The No. 1 Tide are favored by a mere 7.5 points in a matchup of unbeaten teams. Can you remember the last time Alabama wasn't a double-digit favorite over the Vols? Hint: It wasn't during the Derek Dooley era. It's easy to…

It's that special time of year. The calm before the storm. The fun starts this weekend, with another glorious college football betting season officially on the horizon with Week 0.

The Ole Miss Rebels take on the Vanderbilt Commodores. Check out our college football odds series for our Ole Miss Vanderbilt prediction and pick. The Ole Miss Rebels made the Sugar Bowl last year and are unbeaten this year. They are thriving under head coach Lane Kiffin. It must be the offense, right? It must be a high-octane approach with big…

The No. 9 Ole Miss Rebels will try to remain in the top 10 when they face the Vanderbilt Commodores on the road on Saturday afternoon. Ole Miss was able to keep its perfect record intact when it beat then-No. 7 Kentucky last week. Vanderbilt, meanwhile, had the week off after getting blown out by Alabama in its previous game. Kickoff is set for 4…

College football's Week 1 action concludes with a Labor Day night game between Clemson and Georgia Tech, but we're already looking ahead to Week 2. Read on for our best ATS bets for Week 2 of the college football schedule. It's common for bettors to overreact following Week 1, and to set aside preconceived notions about a team based on a 60-minute…

College football is officially back as of Saturday, August 27th and sports bettors are in for a serious treat. The sneaky Week 0 card contains eleven games starting at high noon over on the East Coast and culminating at Aloha Stadium in Hawaii with a primetime matchup between the Vanderbilt Commodores and the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors. As NCAA…

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) - Bryce Young was flinging the ball around and his receivers were delivering big plays, just like during his Heisman Trophy run. Young passed for a season-high 385 yards and four touchdowns and No. 2 Alabama beat Vanderbilt 55-3 Saturday night in the Southeastern Conference opener for both teams. It was the first 300-yard game…

college football odds series for our Vanderbilt Alabama prediction and pick. The Vanderbilt Commodores have shown that they can take a punch and respond well to adversity. Vanderbilt quickly fell behind Hawaii in Week Zero of the season back on Aug. 27 on the island. VU gave up an early touchdown and then failed on a 4th and 5 situation. Everyone…

The Kentucky Wildcats enter Week 4 with a perfect 3-0 record, winning each game by double-digits, and have now moved up another spot in this week's AP college football poll as the 8th-ranked Wildcats will host Northern Illinois on Saturday night at Kroger Field. So, why has head coach Mark Stoops and his staff been fighting mad this week in…

Give a big thanks to Tom Stephenson of Anchor of Gold for taking the time to answer my questions about Vanderbilt. With it being fairly rare for the Tide to play them, we Bama fans often know very little about their actual program and players. Enjoy! - In one of the more remarkable early surprises (to us on the outside, at least) of the 2022…

This week's Triple Option is shining a spotlight on the SEC, checking in on Lane Kiffin's Mississippi, a rock fight in Dallas, and, of course, the trusty Bama first-half spread. We've got it all in our Week 4 college football picks and predictions. It was a rough week for my Triple Option plays last week but we're going to bounce in a big way…

Alabama is back home to welcome Vanderbilt as both teams open up SEC play in college football's Week 4 action on Saturday. Vanderbilt comes in a surprise 3-1, already surpassing last season's win total, to square off against the SEC West favorite Crimson Tide, at 3-0. Here's what you need to know about this weekend's matchup. When: Sat., Sept.…

Week three is in the books, and as we head towards a full blown SEC schedule, we're beginning to learn more about each team's identity. Tennessee finds themselves ranked 11th, their highest ranking since 2016, after a dominant win over Akron, and they more than covered the -47.5 point spread. Elsewhere, it wasn't quite smooth sailing as both…

The biggest national storyline that came from Saturday's 31-28 Northwestern victory over Nebraska undoubtedly will be the painful, gradual downfall of the Scott Frost tenure with the Cornhuskers. But don't let that detract from the Wildcats' brilliant bounce-back. A steady, methodical comeback win over a Huskers team that was favored by double…

The times could be changing in the SEC after Georgia won the College Football Playoff last season, and Alabama doesn't quite look like the consensus top team in the conference. Mind you, Alabama is still the odds-on favorite to win the national championship, but after a sluggish 1-point win at Texas, you could argue the Crimson Tide looks more…

We break it down with our top Vanderbilt-Hawaii picks. Nothing says college football is back quite like a little late-night action out on the islands! Fans…

Well Mizzou fans, we have made it through another long offseason. We saw a nearly endless quarterback debate, recruiting highs and lows, and plenty of NIL and transfer news to go around. Now, we get back to what this sport is all about: the product on the field. Following a 6-7 campaign in 2021, Eliah Drinkwitz enters his 3rd year at the helm in…
