*Tennessee won the 2019 game, but it was vacated due to NCAA violations
Tennessee 34, Kentucky 17: Kentucky gives up a lot of rushing yards and an occasional deep pass. That’s a good setup for Dylan Sampson to run wild and Nico Iamaleava to get big passing opportunities off play action. Expect UT’s defense to be stingy, per usual, as the Vols start their November stretch run. Check out more predictions from our Knox News staff.
