Game Ball: Tennessee heads to Texas A&M — can you predict the final score?

The Tennessee Volunteers are heading to Texas, and KnoxTNToday’s Game Ball is ready for another round of predictions!

The Vols travel to Bryan-College Station to face the Texas A&M Aggies on Saturday, Nov. 14, at 3 p.m. ET at Kyle Field. ESPN will carry the game.

After Tennessee’s convincing 34-6 victory over Kentucky, Vols fans have reason to feel encouraged. But winning on the road in the SEC is never a sure thing, especially in one of college football’s most intimidating stadiums.

Will Tennessee carry its momentum into Texas, or will the Aggies defend their home field?

That’s the question for our readers and the nine KnoxTNToday writers who make their predictions each week.

And remember, you don’t have to pick Tennessee to win. You just have to come closest to the actual final score!

🏈 Beat the Writers

Our KnoxTNToday writers have been known to show a little orange-colored optimism, but they’ve also demonstrated that they aren’t afraid to predict a Tennessee loss.

This week’s predictions will reveal whether they’re feeling confident about another Vols victory or concerned about a difficult SEC road trip.

Writers’ predictions:

🏈 Maria Cornelius: Tennessee 28, Texas A&M 13

🏈 Charlie Barnett: Tennessee 28, Texas A&M 7

🏈 Tom King: Tennessee 30, Texas A&M 14

🏈 Linda Sullivan: Tennessee 24, Texas A&M 10

🏈 Aneisa Rolen: Tennessee 27, Texas A&M 23

🏈 Jan Dickens: Tennessee 34, Texas A&M 10

🏈 Marvin West: Tennessee 24, Texas A&M 21

🏈 Susan Espiritu: Tennessee 35, Texas A&M 10

🏈 Beth Kinnance: Texas A&M 30, Tennessee 21

Our writers compete for bragging rights only. Readers have a separate opportunity to win the prize, whether or not they Beat the Writers.

If needed, the first tiebreaker is the prediction closest to Tennessee’s actual score. Any remaining tie will be decided by random selection.

We’ll announce the winning reader Monday, along with the KnoxTNToday writer who came closest to the final score.
