As the college football season continues, the Kentucky Wildcats will travel to Knoxville in Week 10 to face the Tennessee Volunteers in a SEC clash.

Ahead of the showdown, FanDuel Sportsbook has released the early point spread for the showdown, and the Volunteers are favored by 15.5 points at the moment. Additionally, the over/under has been set at 44.5 points for the conference battle. 

Over the course of their history, Kentucky and Tennessee have faced off 119 times. The Volunteers have dominated the all-time series, to the tune of an 84-26-9 record. They’re also on a three-game winning streak at the moment.

Last season, Tennessee defeated Kentucky in Lexington by six points. The last time the Wildcats got the win was in Knoxville during the 2020 campaign, when Kentucky defeated the Volunteers by a whopping 27 points.

Regardless, we can throw history out the window when these two teams meet in Week 10. It should be another awesome chapter in the storied history of Kentucky and Tennessee, and whoever wins will certainly be in a celebratory mood afterwards.

It may not have been pretty, but Tennessee defeated Alabama in Knoxville once again, the second time it’s happened in three seasons. Josh Heupel continues to slay the Crimson Tide, and Finebaum believes the Playoff is where his focus will lay moving forward. 

“They are very fine, and had Tennessee lost that game, they wouldn’t have been,” Finebaum responded, via SportsCenter. “They really had not had a lot to show for their resume, but they do now. Beating Alabama mattered. They’ll get Georgia later in the season, and they’ll probably have to negotiate that game thoroughly well. 

“With only one loss, they’re still alive. The conventional wisdom is two losses and you’re in, and Tennessee looks in right now.”

As Finebaum alluded to, Tennessee’s clash with Georgia will likely be the tipping point for the Playoff chances. A second loss coming on Nov. 16 wouldn’t be a death knell to their hopes, but it certainly could be, depending on what happens in conferences like the Big Ten, the ACC and the Big 12. 

Time will tell how high Tennessee can climb, but they made a believer out of Paul Finebaum in Week 8. They’ll enjoy a bye week in Week 9, before getting back after it against Kentucky on Nov. 2.
