(Brianna Paciorka/News Sentinel -USA TODAY NETWORK) Fans checker Neyland Stadium before Tennessee’s football game against Florida in Knoxville, Tenn., on Saturday, Sept. 24, 2022.

The bye week has come and gone and now No. 19 Tennessee turns its attention to Texas A&M for Saturday’s 3:30 p.m. Eastern Time kickoff inside a sold-out Neyland Stadium. The annual ‘Checker Neyland’ game will be televised by CBS as the SEC Game of the Week.

The Vols (4-1, 1-1 SEC) beat South Carolina 41-20 on September 30 in Knoxville before the open date. They’ll be on the road the next two weeks, playing at No. 11 Alabama and No. 24 Kentucky. Texas A&M (4-2, 2-1) lost 26-20 to Alabama last week at Kyle Field in College Station.

Tennessee opened as a 3.5-point favorite on Sunday and the line has moved only slightly toward A&M, with the Vols as 3.0-point favorites as of Thursday afternoon.

Tennessee, which has not been an underdog yet this season, is 3-2 against the spread through five games, covering against South Carolina (-11.5), UTSA (-23.5) and Virginia (-27.5) and failing to cover against Austin Peay (-48.5) and at Florida (-5.5).

A&M is 4-2 against the spread, covering against New Mexico (-38.5), UL Monroe (-37), Auburn (-9.5) and Arkansas (-6). The Aggies failed to cover against Alabama (+2.5) at Miami (-2.5).
