An FCS opponent should be a walk in the park for a team with as much talent as Tennessee. The Vols are returning a ton of depth in key positions and added more talent through the transfer portal as this team expects to make a run at the College Football Playoff this season. Chattanooga, meanwhile, returns seven starters between the offense and defense from last year’s team. Prediction: I’m taking Tennessee to win and cover in this matchup even with them being 38.5-point favorites, which is a huge spread to cover. I also like these teams to hit the over on the combined point total of 56.5 considering the Mocs return an experienced and talented quarterback in Chase Artopoeus, who threw for 2,672 yards and 20 touchdowns last season.
