The SEC never fails to deliver. Week 14, a week loaded with rivalries, features one in-state battle between two teams each trying to hold the crown of Tennessee.

The Tennessee Volunteers (8-3, 4-3 SEC) welcome the Vanderbilt Commodores (9-2, 5-2 SEC) to Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tennessee, with hopes of derailing Vanderbilt's College Football Playoff hopes.

Tennessee vs. Vanderbilt prediction, pick:

There are just certain ways the world works. The Tennessee-Vanderbilt rivalry is one of those things. The Volunteers lead this rivalry by an extremely one-sided advantage of 79-32-5. This weekend sees them chalk up win No. 80 in Neyland Stadium.

Is Tennessee making the College Football Playoff? No. Will a packed Neyland Stadium care? Also no. They have the opportunity to end the fairy tale dream that Vanderbilt has of making a College Football Playoff.

Tennessee is going to score. They are built upon points, good and bad, as the defense does give up its share. That bodes well against a Vanderbilt defense that gave up 35 to Utah State, 34 to Texas, and 38 to Auburn. The Volunteers are more explosive than each of those teams.

Peeling back the onion even more, Vanderbilt is giving up nearly 250 passing yards per game and letting teams complete over 66% of passes on them. Tennessee goes for 308 passing yards per game and completes over 66% of its passes.

For as porous as the Vols have been on defense, they do stand up against the run, giving up just 3.5 yards per carry. If they can stay stout against the ground game, the Vols can get home with pressure. With 35 sacks, they are tied for No. 5 with the most sacks in college football, and will have chances to get home against Vandy, the No. 52 team in sacks allowed.

Prediction: Tennessee 37, Vanderbilt 26

Best Bet: Tennessee -2.5
