Texas A&M Aggies vs. Tennessee Volunteers Prediction
I’m on the Volunteers here. I’m still a bit hesitant to just jump on Texas A&M on the road as their first three conference games have come against some of the weaker teams in the SEC in my opinion. Tennessee’s bounced back well off of a loss for much of the year, and after being shellacked by Kentucky, I think the Vols tighten up at home and come out swinging. Give me the Vols.
