Randy’s Free Pick

The Tennessee Volunteers have the horses to blow the doors off here, but they have had a couple of hiccups recently, and you have to question just how motivated they are to keep their foot on the gas. The South Carolina Gamecocks should have a bit more confidence after taking Alabama to the wire, and they lose on the road by an average of 5.8 points. This is a massive line. Give me South Carolina.
