Tennessee are tipped to cover as they rebound from the loss to Texas.

The Volunteers’ defense has been excellent through four games, while the offense can bounce back against a Tigers unit that is not at the same level as the Longhorns’.

Tennessee are 2-0 at home this season
Auburn have failed to cover in 3 of their 4 games
The Under has hit in 3 of Tennessee’s 4 games

Auburn 3-1 After Bounce-Back Win

Auburn head to Tennessee having rebounded from their first defeat of the season with a conference win to take their overall record to 3-1.

The Tigers kicked off the new season with a game against Baylor in Atlanta, and they were able to snatch a 17-16 victory with a late touchdown.

There was no need for late heroics the following week, as they blew out Southern Mississippi in their home opener, 43-8.

Auburn's perfect start was ended in their SEC opener a week later, but they did run Florida close before finally falling to a 44-39 defeat.

The Tigers issued an immediate response however, as they beat Vanderbilt 21-15 for their first conference win of 2026.

Tennessee 2-1 Following First Defeat

Tennessee enter this matchup looking to rebound from their first defeat of the season, which dropped them to 2-1.

The Volunteers opened with a lay-up game against Furman, which they won 56-9.

They followed that up a week later as they went out on the road to down Georgia Tech, before making it three-in-a-row with a 42-9 success at home to Kennesaw State.

Tennessee were unable to get to 4-0 though, as they lost their opening SEC game of the season.

The Volunteers played host to Texas last Saturday, and saw a late fightback attempt fall short as they were beaten 20-17.

Verdict

Auburn @ Tennessee

Tennessee came up just short as an underdog against Texas, and we expect them to rebound here.

The defense can keep the Tigers in check, while the offense rebounds from a rough showing against the Longhorns.
