Auburn vs Tennessee Prediction

The Auburn Tigers are getting the respect because they’re at home where they’re undefeated and that offense is scary when supported by the crowd. It’s like the Golden State Warriors from a few years ago. It can feel like an avalanche. However, Tennessee was just the team to beat a couple of weeks ago and is still led by an elite defense. Tennessee has three road wins on the season and is first in three point defensive percentage. Also, Tennessee has outright won three of its last five games as an underdog. Tennessee hasn’t been an underdog of five or more points since January 2022. This is a must-watch SEC showdown, but I want my points with the Vols.
