After being out of action for a week due to the BYE, the Tennessee football team will be back in action this weekend against Arkansas. Things have been turned upside down for the Razorbacks, with Sam Pittman being fired and Bobby Petrino taking over as the interim head coach.

Petrino isn't too worried about the crowd noise making much of an impact in this one, but we're going to respectfully disagree there. Tennessee is hoping to post a lopsided win. Will they do so? The oddsmakers seem to think so, as Josh Heupel and Co. are big favorites for this one.

Tennessee is favored by 12.5 points vs. Arkansas in a Week 7 matchup

According to the FanDuel sportsbook, Tennessee is favored by 12.5 points, with -450 moneyline odds. The over/under for this matchup has been set at 68.5 points, which tells us that plenty of points should be scored at Neyland Stadium.

Is Joey Aguilar about to put on a show in his second home SEC game of his young Tennessee career? That's what everyone is hoping for, as he threw the ball all over the field the last time he was in action against Mississippi State, though that was on the road.

For the season, Aguilar has looked fantastic, throwing for 1,458 yards and 13 touchdowns. Everyone continues to talk about the dynamic play of Chris Brazzell II, who has emerged as not only Tennessee's No. 1 wide receiver, but also one of the top wideouts in the country. Yeah, he's been fantastic.

Defensively, the hope was that the Vols would be able to welcome back Jermod McCoy, but Pete Nakos has reported that it's unlikely he'll suit up. That's a bummer, but look for Colton Hood and Ty Redmond to keep playing at a high level.

Arkansas has looked rough on both sides of the ball, including in the blowout loss at home to Notre Dame. It appeared to be the final nail in the coffin for Pittman, who was fired not long after. Petrino is turning back the clock and leading this team, but not many people are giving the Razorbacks much of a chance to keep this one close.
