Tennessee football dominates College Gameday picks

Tennessee football is a touchdown favorite against the Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday and is the heavy favorite among the public. The Vols are expected to handle business in Heupel's return to Norman, Oklahoma, one decade after being fired as the offensive coordinator. 

ESPN's College Gameday joined the Vols in making the trip to Norman, featured the primetime, and ranked matchup in the weekly show, but do they agree that Tennessee will handle business in their season opener?

Everyone but guest picker and Oklahoma fan Blake Shelton believes Tennessee will win Saturday night's game. Desmond Howard, Nick Saban, and Pat McAfee all picked the Vols to win, while Rece Davis and Kirk Herbstreit didn't make a pick because they will be in the booth for the game. 

Lee Corso has picked headgear for 19 Tennessee games since 1997. He has taken the Vols in seven of those 19 games but has leaned heavily in Tennessee's favor in recent years. Corso will continue that trend as he also picked Tennessee to beat Oklahoma and donned the Smokey headgear to end College Gameday. 

The Gameday crew have been high on the Vols this year. They all took Tennessee in the Vols' other featured game early this season against NC State. Tennessee dominated that game against the Wolfpack and continued their early-season momentum. 

It's hard to go against the Vols, given how dominant they've been to start the season. The Vols have outscored their opponents 191-13 to start the year, and the defense hasn't allowed a touchdown in the past 16 quarters. 

The Vols and Sooners will kick off at 7:30 PM ET on ABC for a primetime, ranked matchup on national television as a part of the new SEC on ABC broadcasts this season.
