This one is fairly simple. Tennessee is better on both sides of the ball -- they are actually elite on both sides if we're being honest -- and Arkansas is an inconsistent bunch. The Vols have their starting offensive tackles back and should be able to open up the offense on Saturday night.

Tennessee is the more talented team by far. These two teams have only played three times since 2007, the Razorbacks have won them all. However, not sure that this Arkansas team can keep up with the Volunteers offensively. Tennessee is 3rd in the country in opponent points allowed and the Razorbacks average 37 points per game at home, they haven’t seen a defense like this all season. Since 2021, the under is 7-1 in Tennessee’s last eight road games when the total is greater than 56.

Arkansas is a chaos team capable of disrupting the world order when it plays a team on, or below its level. But when it faces a team that's clearly better than it is, it falters. Tennessee is levels above.

Will weird things happen on a Saturday night in Fayetteville? The Razorbacks' offense is 13th nationally, averaging 495 yards per game and Tennessee's defense is due for regression after facing four lackluster offenses. If Arkansas' top-25 rushing defense (93 YPG) can hold up, this one could be scary for the visitors. Tennessee survives, but it should be close. Volunteers 30, Razorbacks 24.
