Every week throughout this season, GoVols247's Patrick Brown, Ryan Callahan and Ben McKee will make their predictions for the biggest games in college football — focusing on the Southeastern Conference and top-25 teams — and, of course, weigh in on how Tennessee will fare. If you weren't able to participate in our annual GoVols247 Pick 'Em competition, which is already under way, feel free to post your own picks in the comments below this story. Or you can simply point out the flaws in the GoVols247 staff's predictions. Before we reveal our picks for Week 3, here's a quick look at how we did last week. WEEK 2 RESULTS Ben McKee 16-9 Ryan Callahan 12-13 Patrick Brown 12-13 OVERALL RECORDS Ben McKee 35-19 Ryan Callahan 30-24 Patrick Brown 27-25 Without further ado, it's on with the picks, including our predictions for No. 15 Tennessee's home game agaisnt Kennesaw State. The Vols (2-0) are coming off a 45-24 victory at Georgia Tech last week, while the Owls (1-1) are looking to bounce back from a 31-17 loss to Georgia State. Saturday's game will be the first meeting between Tennessee and Kennesaw State, but some familiar faces will be back at Neyland Stadium. Kennesaw State coach Jerry Mack served as the Vols' running backs coach in 2021-23, and Owls offensive coordinator Mitch Militello, running backs coach Aston Walter and Kyle Blocker — Kennesaw State's tight ends coach and special teams coordinator — were also part of Tennessee coach Josh Heupel's staff. KENNESAW STATE (+35.5) AT TENNESSEE
