The current betting odds have Tennessee listed as a 21 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Tennessee just lost their 1st game of the season last week and it was a big loss as they were the number 1 team in the country going into the game and lost by double digits against Georgia. Georgia has one of the best defenses in the country though and this Tennessee team is still very good. Tennessee will be upset after that loss and looking to take it out on their next opponent here. Missouri has been playing better in their games lately as they have been in a lot of closer games but they are still only a 4 win team this season and they have a lot of work to do to compete with a team like Tennessee. Tennessee is going to be angry in this game and will be trying to blow out Missouri here to show that the loss last week was just a bad game. Tennessee still has high hopes for the college football playoffs this year even with their 1 loss and they are going to prove their case here. The best way to place a bet here is on Tennessee to cover the spread in this game.

"How a guy can still be a protected punter 50 yards down the field and how are guys supposed to know that he can't tackle him is beyond me. But I'm sure I'll get an explanation and I'm sure it will defend them, and we'll go from there. It doesn't change the fact that we were 2 of 13 on third downs." - Eli Drinkwitz after his team’s loss against Kentucky in their last game.

 

 

“Obviously for me, just thinking back to when I first got here, these guys have been a huge part of laying the foundation, helping our program build extremely quickly over the last two years and building this program back to where it should be, which is competing at the highest level. Excited to celebrate that with those guys.” - Josh Heupel after his team’s loss against Georgia in their last game.
