Tennessee football opens training camp on Tuesday
Tennessee is currently a 7.5-point favorite for the SEC opener at Florida on September 16. It’s a 7 p.m. Eastern Time kickoff at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville and will be televised by ESPN.
The Vols beat the Gators 38-33 at Neyland Stadium a year ago, but have not won at The Swamp since 2003.
Tennessee is a 13-point favorite against South Carolina in its SEC home opener on September 30 at Neyland Stadium. The Vols will have something to prove after the 63-38 loss at South Carolina derailed their season last November. South Carolina’s last win in Knoxville came in October 2017.
The bye week falls on October 7 and Texas A&M visits Neyland Stadium on October 14. The Vols are a touchdown favorite against the Aggies according to the current DraftKing odds. A&M limped to a 5-7 record last season.
The Aggies have played at Neyland Stadium just once and it came in front of a 25-percent capacity limit during the COVID season, winning 34-13 in December 2020.
