The No. 15 Vols return to SEC action today when they take on the undefeated Mississippi State Bulldogs in Starkville. Tennessee has fielded a top-10 offense through four games, averaging 554 yards per game and racking up 214 points in that span. The offense has been the story so far this season for Josh Heupel’s squad, the toughest the Bulldogs’ defense has faced so far. Joey Aguilar & Co. have found numerous ways to score points, and Saturday in Starkville should be no exception.
Here’s some of the best Tennessee football odds ahead of today’s tilt.

Here’s a look at the best college football betting apps to make a wager with on today’s game.
Tennessee Volunteers -7.5 points (-112 or better)
Tennessee’s offense has been humming through four games against all levels of competition. While Mississippi State remains undefeated, this will be their first conference clash and an opportunity to see who this team really is. The Vols have shown they can stack up points in a hurry, and if the Bulldogs’ ability to chip away at Northern Illinois last week was any indication, the Bulldogs may not have the firepower to go score-for-score with the Volunteers.
Chris Brazzell II anytime touchdown (-140 or better)
Quarterback Joey Aguilar and wide receiver Chris Brazzell II have formed quite the effective tandem. The pair have linked up for six touchdowns so far this season, and do not expect that connection to falter against Mississippi State today. Brazzell II continuously finds ways to get open downfield, and when he does, Aguilar seldom misses his mark. Their run of good form should continue against the Bulldogs.
Joey Aguilar 280+ passing yards (+160 or better)
The Mississippi State Bulldogs are vulnerable in the passing game, and it’s an area that Josh Heupel will look to exploit. They’ve allowed 516 passing yards to opposing defenses this year but have yet to play an SEC game. They’ve also allowed nearly nine yards per pass in those four games, which bodes well for a Volunteers offense that likes to make quick strikes downfield.
