The Tennessee Volunteers have just one win in their last six games. That victory came on the road at Vanderbilt, and the Vols will host the Commodores on Thursday night. Tennessee came up just short on the road at Ole Miss this weekend, losing by just two points. Vanderbilt is coming off a home win over the cellar dwellers of the SEC (Missouri), and they should be in for a rough night on the road Thursday.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Home Cookin' - The Vols have won five of the last six meetings in this series, and all three of their home games during that span. Vanderbilt has struggled on the road, with just two wins in nine games away from home.

2. Josh Richardson - Tennessee's guard scored 27 points on 10-of-18 shooting in the win at Vanderbilt earlier this season, and he's since scored in double-figures in three straight.

3. X-Factor - Vanderbilt has lost six of seven on the road versus SEC opponent's, and the average margin of defeat in those games was 7.5 points.

Selection: This is a play on the Tennessee Volunteers (10*)
