Northwestern, who is currently ranked 12th in the nation, is actually an underdog to Tennessee.
Then again, considering the way the Volunteers have been playing lately, that shouldn’t be a surprise.
Tennessee is only a few plays away from being the SEC East champions and a team that could’ve been in the college football playoff conversation.
Hell, the Vols could probably beat any of the teams in the playoff. So it not a shocker they’re favored against the Wildcats.
Tennessee will be looking to win bowl games in back to back seasons for the first time since the 1995 and 1996 seasons.
