Tennessee vs. Missouri: Rocky Top Talk Staff Predictions

Tennessee will play its final home game of 2018 on Saturday when it hosts Missouri. The Vols come into this game coming off a 24-7 win against No. 11 Kentucky, but Missouri is a 5.5-point favorite in Knoxville.

Will Tennessee reach bowl eligibility this week or play a do-or-die game against Vanderbilt in its final game?

Conner Knapp: Tennessee 27, Missouri 23

(Season: 8-2)

This pick is based mostly on momentum. I think Missouri is better than Tennessee at most spots — the Tigers could quite easily be 8-2 entering this game — but something just feels like the Vols will be able to build upon their huge win last week over Kentucky.
