The Sports Credential Essentials—November 2022

November is here and with it comes the final stretch of the college football season, the heart of the NFL season and the beginning of the college basketball season.

Belmont, Lipscomb, TSU, MTSU and Vanderbilt all begin their season in the second week of November.

Belmont’s men host Ohio, Vandy’s men host Memphis, and both TSU’s men and women will play Fisk all on Monday, Nov. 7. Belmont women’s basketball has a huge season ahead of them after nearly beating the Lady Vols in the 2022 NCAA Tournament. The Bruins start their season hosting Chattanooga, No. 7 Louisville, and MTSU Lady Blue Raiders before heading to Iowa City to face the University of Iowa.

The annual Battle of the Boulevard between Belmont and Lipscomb’s men’s teams will be early this season, taking place at Allen Arena on Monday, Nov. 14.

The first week of November starts with the Predators playing three games on the road against the Edmonton Oilers, Calgary Flames and Vancouver Canucks. The Preds lost to the Oilers 7-4 and are on a downward skid, losing seven of their last eight games.

After the Preds’ five-game road trip, they will play eight of their next nine games at Bridgestone Arena. In that stretch, the Preds will host the New York Rangers (Nov. 12), New York Islanders (Nov. 17), 2021 Eastern Conference Champions Tampa Bay Lighting (Nov. 19) and Stanley Cup champs the Colorado Avalanche (Nov. 25).

Vanderbilt football started off its season relatively solid but have lost four straight games since starting SEC play. Their last loss was to Missouri in a tight game where the Commodores fell 17-14. They spent this last week on a bye, but will be back in action this Saturday (Nov. 5) when they host South Carolina. After that, Vandy will play Kentucky and Florida, andwill finish their season against Tennessee on Nov. 26.

The Titans will have a very busy November as they play four games, kicking things off by visiting the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, Nov. 6. The Titans have won five straight, with their most recent win coming against the Houston Texans. The Titans continue to struggle with players being sidelined for injuries, but are finding ways to win behind their defense and great performances by Derrick Henry.

After playing the Chiefs, Tennessee will host the Broncos before heading to Green Bay to play the Packers on Nov. 17. They finish the month in a rematch of last years AFC Divisional matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals at Nissan Stadium on Nov. 27.
