Both teams walked into this 3-0, and the market still gives Texas roughly a two-in-three edge over a Tennessee side that sits ranked in the low teens. Neyland is the counterweight the price may be underweighting, since noon in Knoxville against a top-15 Vols team is a very different game than the neutral-site history suggests. Tennessee added Jim Knowles to run the defense this year, and a home crowd plus a new coordinator is exactly the kind of variance that a 34% line rewards if you think Texas is being valued on brand as much as on form. The road favorite is the honest question here.
