It's a new week for Tennessee football, as there are three games left on the regular season schedule for the Vols in 2025. Yes, people are still pretty bummed about the loss to Oklahoma, as it crushed the team's hopes of reaching the College Football Playoff.

However, Josh Heupel made it more than clear that his guys are going to keep pushing and they won't stop competing. That includes this weekend's upcoming showdown at home against New Mexico State. This is going to be a great game for the Vols to get back on track and score a lot of points.
Think Joey Aguilar and Co. are ready to light up the scoreboard? That's surely on the way and the Vegas oddsmakers think so too. According to the FanDuel sportsbook, the Vols have opened as 40.5-point favorites. Yup, a lopsided win is surely on the way.
Tennessee is favored by 40.5 points against New Mexico State at Neyland Stadium
Can't say we're surprised by this, as NMSU is 3-6 on the year and the Aggies are fresh off a loss to Kennesaw State. It's going to be a long day for them on both sides of the ball, as Tennessee is going to play ticked off from start to finish, which is what we already knew.
The Vols indeed are still pretty upset over how things went down against Oklahoma. Tennessee let that one slip away, with mental mistakes not only costing them a shot at a win, but also a potential trip to the College Football Playoff.
Aguilar and the Tennessee offense were far from perfect, but they're going to want to get back to the basics in this one. While it may be against NMSU, don't think even for a second that this game isn't going to mean a ton to Aguilar. With him being one and done with the Vols, this will be his second-to-last game at Neyland and he's going to want to put on a show. We think that will happen, as the Vols will own this showdown from the moment the opening whistle goes off.
