Tennessee football looks to move to 2-0 over Missouri football on Saturday.
Is Tennessee football on its way to being back, or will the Vols fall at home to Missouri football?
The Tennessee Volunteers survived on the road vs. the South Carolina Gamecocks in Columbia last week. A win is a win, but Tennessee needs to take any positive momentum it has from its Week 4 victory to ensure Eliah Drinkwitz’s Missouri Tigers don’t knock off the Vols in their home opener. This is a game where Tennessee can build on its impressive winning streak and turn some heads.
Here is how to watch Missouri at No. 21 Tennessee online.

Tennessee will be laying 12 points at home to the visiting Tigers. The associated money lines for this game are Tennessee -450 and Missouri +325. The over/under for this game comes in at a combined 49.5 points. We’ve seen a little bit of action on the point spread after opening at Tennessee -11. Odds are from Odds Shark.
With its season-opening victory over the Gamecocks last week, Tennessee should be able to improve to 2-0 and possibly climb up a few spots in next week’s AP Top 25 Poll with a win over division rival Missouri. Jeremy Pruitt may be the right coach for the Vols, but he can’t let a gotta-have-it game slip away from him at home vs. a rebuilding Tigers team under Drinkwitz’s watch.
Tennessee may be laying a lot of points at home, but we should expect a low-scoring game. Let’s side with the under here, but Tennessee still finds a way to cover by scoring two more touchdowns than the Tigers. Don’t expect a late backdoor cover by Mizzou, as Pruitt will not let his team take its foot off the gas in this one. Tennessee will be ranked in the teens after Week 4.
Prediction: Tennessee 30, Missouri 16
