Preview: Auburn Tigers at Tennessee Volunteers projection
Auburn Tigers visit Tennessee Volunteers in NCAA Football on Saturday, October 3, 2026. Our model projects AUB 25 – TENN 33, a 8-point edge to Tennessee Volunteers. DraftKings currently has TENN -7.5 with a total of 57.5.
The only inputs are final scores and schedule dates from the current and prior season, opponent-adjusted, plus the live DraftKings spread and total. 15 completed home-side and 14 completed away-side games are on file, worth 2.46 weighted games on the thinner side after recency decay and a discount on prior-season results. Because that history is graded insufficient, the projected score is blended 85% toward the DraftKings number of -7.5 / 57.5, which sat 4.55 points from what the completed scores alone implied.
This is a model projection, not an official tracked recommendation. The model rates it unrated, so no side is published and it is not eligible for a tracked pick or a Covered Select. Reasons on file: 2.46 weighted games is below the 3-game minimum for a rated projection; score anchored 85% to the DraftKings number (-7.5 / 57.5); unrated: the history behind this projection is insufficient, so the score is a market-anchored projection rather than a recommendation.
