SEC Network’s Peter Burns picks surprising SEC Week 4 upset: Tennessee over Florida

The Third Saturday in September isn’t what it used to be.

In SEC East history, the Florida-Tennessee game usually decided the division. Of course, the division now goes through Athens, Georgia, and the UF-UT rivalry has taken a backseat.

In fact, it’s been very lopsided of late. The Gators have won 13 of the last 14. The lone Tennessee win came in 2016 where the Vols beat the Gators 38-28 in Knoxville.

Tennessee enters 1-2 with losses to Georgia State and BYU, and really, much of the country doesn’t think the Vols stand a chance. SEC Network’s Peter Burns isn’t one of them. He’s picking the Vols in an upset Saturday in The Swamp:

This is true

I think Vols/Gators is going to be a weird one in the Swamp

Yes, I know Gators have won 13/14, but something is fishy about this one

Gators banged up at some key spots & worried Mullen gets cute with QB positions playing Trask and Jones#SECThisMorning @SIRIUSXM https://t.co/B3dMNE4toM

This game will be interesting for so many reasons. Most notably, Kyle Trask will be taking over the quarterback position for the Gators.

Tennessee and Florida kickoff Saturday at 12:00 p.m. ET on ESPN.
