The Tennessee Vols head to The Swamp this Saturday, Sept. 25 to face off against their long-time rivals the Florida Gators. It will be the team’s fourth regular-season matchup of the year.
According to Tennessee sports betting odds, the Vols will have to work very hard to pull off the upset.
Gators welcome Vols back to The Swamp
The well-established college clash between Florida and Tennessee has been fairly one-sided as of late. The last time these two played each other was in December 2020 when the Gators walked away with a 31-19 win.
Tennessee hasn’t claimed a victory in this matchup since September 2016, when the Vols won 38-28 at Neyland Stadium.
As far as the initial three games of the current season have gone, both teams have had their share trials and triumphs.
The Vols claimed a shutout 56-0 victory against Tennessee Tech this past Saturday at Neyland Stadium.
The win came after a tough 41-34 home loss against the Pittsburgh Panthers in Week 2 as the Tennessee defense struggled to keep its opponents out of the end zone.
Despite Florida’s considerable upper hand in this matchup, these two SEC East teams both currently boast a 2-1 season record.
The Gators have already started their season off strong, coming close to claiming an upset over No. 1 Alabama last week with a final 31-29 score. Before that, they beat South Florida 42-20 and began the season with a 35-14 win against Florida Atlantic.
