The Appalachian State Mountaineers and the Tennessee Volunteers will be
battling to open the 2016 College Football season for both teams at
Neyland Stadium on Thursday. Tennessee is trying to take huge strides
this season under Butch Jones after a tumultuous off-season with sexual
assault allegations, along with bullying by some coaches. Appalachain
State is trying to prove they can compete on a yearly basis in the
Football Bowl Championship Series.
Oddsmakers currently have the Volunteers listed as 21-point favorites versus the Mountaineers, while the game's total has set at 60.5.
Tennessee has to keep from overlooking the Mountaineers with Virgia Tech
on the Horizon next Saturday at Bristol Motor Speedway. Even without
Frank Beamer, the Hokies will still be a quality football team.
Appalachian State hosts Old Dominion next Saturday, so they will not be
looking past the Vols. I would expect them to pull out all the stops in
this season opening match up that can open some eyes to people around
the nation if they can pull off the upset.
Appalachian State:
Team record: 11-2 SU,6-7 ATS
Current Streak: won 4 straight games.
Tennessee:
Team record: 9-4 SU,8-5 ATS
Current Streak: won 6 straight games.
Next up:
Appalachian State home to Old Dominion Saturday, September 10
Tennessee home to Virginia Tech Saturday, September 10
