After both teams had the bye week to get ready, Tennessee football will host Arkansas inside Neyland Stadium at 4:15 p.m. ET on Saturday. With another slate of games in the books this past weekend, Vegas has updated its betting odds for next week. This includes the Vols and Razorbacks’ clash.

As of Sunday morning, FanDuel has Tennessee as a 13.5-point favorite in the game. So far, bettors like the Vols’ odds, as well. 87% of the money has come in on UT covering, and 86% of the bets are on Tennessee.

Through five games, the Vols are 3-2 against the spread. These past two weeks, against UAB and at Mississippi State, Tennessee did not cover. On the other hand, Arkansas is just 1-4 against the spread. The Razorbacks’ last outing against Notre Dame was so poor that head coach Sam Pittman was fired and Bobby Petrino was named the interim coach.

Tennessee sits at -530 on the moneyline, as well. You can get Arkansas at +390. The over/under point total for the game is set at 69.5 combined points. The Vols have gone over in all five games, and the Razorbacks have in four of five.

FanDuel also continued to update some odds looking at the season as a whole. To win the national title, Tennessee is at +3500, the 14th-best odds in the nation. To simply make the playoffs again, the Vols are at +245 for yes and -320 for no.

Looking at winning the SEC, Tennessee sits at +2500, ninth-best in the conference. The Vols are behind Alabama, Ole Miss, Georgia, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri and LSU in that order.

As far as Tennessee quarterback Joey Aguilar’s odds to win the Heisman Trophy, he’s listed at +2200. This is the 10th-best in the country as he continues to slip after his showing against Georgia.
