Tennessee is entering this game with a 4-1 record overall and they have a 1-1 record in their conference games too. They are 3-0 in their home games, 0-1 in their road games, and they are also 1-0 in their neutral site games this season, but they will be at home for this game. They won their last game against South Carolina 41-20. Joe Milton was the starting QB and he completed 21/32 passes for 239 passing yards, 1 touchdown, and 2 interceptions. Jaylen Wright led the team in rushing yards with 123 and 1 TD. Marquarius White led the receivers with 104 receiving yards on 9 receptions. Wesley Walker led the defense in that game with 5 solo tackles and 0 assisted tackles while James Pearce Jr. led the defense in sacks with 2. Kamal Hadden came away with the only interception for them in that game.

The current betting odds have Tennessee listed as a 3.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Tennessee is 4-1 overall this season with a 1-1 conference record but they are also 3-0 in their home games as they have been really good there. They blew out South Carolina in their last game and had their bye week too so they have had extra rest for this home game. Texas A&M is 4-2 overall this season and they do have a really good team but now they are 2-1 in conference play and blew their chance to beat Alabama last week and get ahead of the SEC West. Now their chances at the SEC Championship are very slim and they have to be feeling down on themselves coming into this road game. Tennessee has a really good offense under Josh Heupel and Texas A&M has been really vulnerable to giving up big plays this season. Texas A&M won't have the motivation to get up for this game and they won't have the offense to compete with the way Tennessee scores at home. The best way to place a bet here is on Tennessee to cover the spread in this game. 

Texas A&M Tennessee Prediction:  Our NCAAF Pick for Saturday, October 14, 2023 (3:30 pm ET start time) is Tennessee 38 Texas A&M 21.

“It’s a hurt locker room because they felt very good about how they were playing in the game. There’s still a really good football team in there and we have to regroup. We have six games left … There’s not a game out there we can’t have success in, but it’s also going to be a tough schedule so we have to line up and go play." - Jimbo Fisher after his team’s loss against Alabama in their last game.
