Oct. 8. Baton Rouge, La.. LSU Tigers. 5. player. 817. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis

Tennessee is going to get an early bye week in the 2022 season and they will need it for the upcoming stretch of games. After getting a big win over rival Florida, Tennessee is going to have to prepare for back-to-back road trips, with the first being to Baton Rouge to take on LSU.

The Tigers are going to be in the midst of their first season under new coach Brian Kelly and it will be interesting to see what they look like midway through the season.

Baton Rouge is a very tough place to play. LSU might not be playoff-ready in 2022, but they are still a talented team. Look for LSU to get a nice win at home over the 4-0 Volunteers.

Final Score: Tennessee 31, LSU 35 (4-1, 1-1)

player. Pick Analysis. Knoxville, Tenn.. Alabama Crimson Tide. 829. Scouting Report. Oct. 15. 6

After suffering its first loss of the season against LSU, Tennessee is going to have to get ready for the juggernaut that is Alabama. As most college football fans are aware, Tennessee has not beaten Alabama since 2006 and has not beaten them while Nick Saban has been the head coach at Alabama. Most games have been blowouts, but Tenessee is going to hope that changes sometime in the future.

However, it is not going to change in 2022. Alabama is going to have a better offense than Tennessee and the Volunteers defense is going to be hopeless in trying to stop them. Tennessee will turn the ball over a few times and this game will get out of hand.

Final Score: Tennessee 20, Alabama 48 (4-2, 1-2)
