The Tennessee football team is back in action on Saturday as they take on the Auburn Tigers. Here are four bold predictions for the game.

The 2-3 Tennessee football team travels to Auburn to take on the 4-2 Tigers. Will the Vols continue to look like an improved football team? Or, will they come out and lay an egg on Saturday as they have against all of their Power 5 opponents this season.

Things didn’t look terrible against Georgia before the bye week. After turning the ball over six times against the Florida Gators, Tennessee played the Bulldogs tough for 3 1/2 quarters. The final score doesn’t indicate how close the game actually was. The Bulldogs scored two late touchdowns to put the game out of reach.

Honestly, who knows what to expect this weekend. Auburn is struggling and hasn’t scored a touchdown in five quarters. They just lost to a Mississippi State team that appears they aren’t as good as most thought they were.

However, Tennessee’s situation isn’t much better. The Vols look bad on offense until they decide to open it up and that’s when big plays start to happen. However, the play calling is limited due to the fact the offensive line isn’t getting much of a push against anyone.

In this post, we have a couple of bold predictions for the game. These aren’t your predictions that most people would call, we are at least trying to be a bit bold. However, not too bold as to say the Vols will win by two touchdowns.
