After more than 100 years in the Big 8 and then the Big 12, the No. 15 Oklahoma Sooners will play their first-ever SEC game on Saturday when they host the No. 6 Tennessee Volunteers. Both teams are 3-0 on the season but the Volunteers certainly have the advantage when it comes to style points, outscoring opponents 191-13 and outgaining them by 478.6 yards per game in wins over Chattanooga, NC State and Kent State. Meanwhile, the Sooners have collected wins against Temple, Houston and Tulane but haven't managed more than 400 yards of total offense thus far. Oklahoma has won 10 consecutive games at home, while the Volunteers are 2-5 against the spread in their past seven contests on the road. 

Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET at Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium in Norman. The Volunteers are 6.5-point favorites in the latest Oklahoma vs. Tennessee odds from SportsLine consensus, while the over/under for total points scored is 56.5. Before making any Tennessee vs. Oklahoma picks or CFB predictions, you need to see what the SportsLine Projection Model has to say.

The model simulates every FBS college football game 10,000 times. Since its inception, it has generated a profit of over $2,000 for $100 players on its top-rated college football picks against the spread. It also is coming off a profitable 13-9 season on top-rated spread picks and is off to a 5-2 start on over/under picks this season. Anyone who has followed it has seen STRONG returns!

The model knows Oklahoma is still searching for an identity offensively but that Brent Venables' squad swarms defensively. The Sooners have only allowed 264.7 yards per game defensively over the first three weeks and they've forced a staggering 10 turnovers. Temple, Houston and Tulane combined to average just 2.2 yards per carry over the first three weeks and the Oklahoma defense is allowing just 11.3 points per game on the season.

The model has also taken into account that Tennessee has looked like one of the most dynamic teams in the country on both sides of the ball. The Volunteers rank first in the nation in points per game (64.3) and third in points allowed per game (4.3). Oklahoma alum Josh Heupel only needed his starters for roughly a half against overmatched Chattanooga and Kent State, but Tennessee also unloaded on a ranked program in their home state with a 51-10 win over No. 24 NC State in Charlotte.

The model has simulated Oklahoma vs. Tennessee 10,000 times and the results are in. We can tell you the model is leaning Over on the total, and it also says one side of the spread hits well over 50% of the time!
