The Kentucky Wildcats hosting Tennessee football leads our Volunteers, Southeastern Conference and top 25 predictions for Week 11 of the 2019 season.
It’s time to celebrate again. We had a rally last week that put us out of a situation Tennessee football could get out of with a win this week. So both of us have the same goals of continuing a major turnaround.
Last Saturday saw one non-conference game featuring two top 25 teams, four games featuring two SEC teams and two games featuring an SEC team against a non-conference team. So we had seven games overall.
Let’s just say we are back baby! And we want to relish in it a bit. Hey, Tennessee football has been relishing their 4-5 record. Anyway, before looking into next week, here’s a breakdown of how our picks were last week.
Record for Week 10 predictions straight-up: 6-1
Gambling Record: 9-4-1
Against the spread: 5-1-1
On the Over/Under: 4-3
As you can see, we dominated on the spread. Thanks to the SMU Mustangs hitting two late touchdowns and two two-point conversions, one of which was unnecessary, we managed to hit the even for that one. And we finally had a decent week on the over/under. Here’s a look at what that means for us on the whole season.
Overall record for predictions straight-up: 76-19
Gambling Record: 85-82-3
Against the spread: 46-37-2
On the Over/Under: 39-45-1
And this is why that week was important. We’re out from under .500 and now at three games above .500. That’s what the Vols, at 4-5, are trying to get out from under this week as well. And it’s why we’re in similar boats.
Anyway, our slate this week is insane. UT is one of four games we have involving two SEC schools, and one of them is a famous No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup, although it’s No. 2 vs. No. 3 in the College Football Playoff rankings. We also have three other games involving SEC teams facing non-conference foes while three teams in the league have a bye.
Then, outside of the league, we have two more games featuring top 25 teams to cover, both in the Big Ten. So that gives us nine to pick on the day, a large margin of games that could dramatically build on or undo what we did this past week.
As usual, we’ll pick the games in the order that they are scheduled while closing with the Vols. All of the betting lines come from The Action Network. So let’s get started. It’s time to continue winning. These are our week 11 predictions for Tennessee football, SEC and top 25 games.
