Two teams headed in different directions as of late hook up when Tennessee meets Missouri Saturday afternoon in Columbia. The Vols, following a poor start to this season, is suddenly hot, and 5-0 against the spread over their last five games. The Tigers, on the other hand, are skidding, and 0-5 ATS their recent five times out. Who do we like here for our free college football pick?

Volunteers vs. Tigers Set-Up<br />
</h2>
<p>
Tennessee started 1-4 this season and looked terrible doing it, losing to Georgia Southern, blowing a game against BYU, falling badly to Florida and Georgia. But the Vols are 4-1 SU and 5-0 ATS over their last five games, after winning at Kentucky two weeks ago 17-13. Tennessee then enjoyed the previous week off.
</p>
<p>
The Volunteers spotted the Wildcats the first 13 points of the game a couple of weeks ago, then scored the next 17 to take the lead. In the end, Tennessee won it with a goal-line stand with just over a minute to go.
</p>
<p>
The Vols actually got out-played by Kentucky, losing time of possession by a huge 42:18 split. They just made some plays at the right times, on both sides of the ball.
