Tennessee vs. Vanderbilt: Rocky Top Talk Staff Predictions

Tennessee finishes its 2018 regular season on Saturday against in-state rival Vanderbilt. Both Tennessee and Vandy sit at 5-6, so the winner of this year’s matchup will earn a bowl bid.

Tennessee quarterback Jarrett Guarantano and Marquez Callaway have been repeatedly described as “day-to-day” by Jeremy Pruitt after suffering injuries last week against Missouri. Vanderbilt is a 3.5-point favorite in Nashville.
