Our Tennessee Volunteers vs Texas Longhorns Prediction
Texas is the clear favorite in this game; however, Tennessee looks to be the best betting option. This goes back to the fact that Texas has yet to play a game on the road this season. Further, the Longhorns needed a desperate comeback to even beat Ohio State back in Week 2, and they are only 1-2 ATS this season.
There is also the fact that their quarterback, Arch Manning, has not played at his best on the road over the course of his career. While this is not a huge sample size, Tennessee’s defense is more than capable of pressuring Manning into making mistakes. For that reason, our Texas Longhorns vs. Tennessee Volunteers prediction is: Tennessee Volunteers +4.5.
