Here’s everything you need to know about the SEC matchup at Jordan-Hare Stadium between Auburn and Tennessee, including how to bet and watch online.
After a disappointing loss to Mississippi State, Auburn looks to get back on track against a Tennessee Volunteers team who hasn’t beaten a power 5 opponent all year and is in the midst of an 11-game losing streak in the SEC.
The Tigers took the field as the heavy favorite in last weeks game in Starkville but couldn’t do much offensively against the stout Bulldogs defense. Jarrett Stidham completed 19 of 38 for 214 yards and was sacked three times. The run game wasn’t much better with only 90 yards. Things should be much easier against the Vols defense that’s allowing 41 points per game to opposing Power 5 opponents.
Tennessee is looking like a lost cause in the first year of the Jeremy Pruitt era. Having great games against East Tennessee State and UTEP isn’t going to rally the fans and get them feeling optimistic about turning the losing tide.
Quarterback Jarrett Guarantano seems to be a bright spot for the Vols, throwing for 801 yards on 63 percent passing. The offensive line has to do a better job in the run game but that could be difficult against an Auburn defense that is stacked with future NFL players. However, they were just gashed by Mississippi State and now rank No. 51 in the nation in rushing defense, allowing an average of 135 yards per game on 3.6 yards per carry.
That said, the Vols are 2-3 because they have not looked great offensively, ranking 92nd in scoring offense and 102nd in total offense.

Prediction: Coming off a bye week, Tennessee should look fresh and rejuvenated after suffering back-to-back SEC East blowouts. With that said. I don’t think that comes into play this Saturday as Auburn looks to get back in the win column after losing to Mississippi State last weekend. Auburn wins and covers the spread against a dismal Vols squad.
