The Tennessee Vols are set to host the Texas A&M Aggies on Saturday afternoon in Neyland Stadium. 

And 247Sports isn't feeling good about the Vols' chances of getting their first win against the Aggies since New Year's Day in 2005 (when Tennessee beat Texas A&M in the Cotton Bowl). 

247Sports' Brad Crawford and Chris Hummer made predictions for this week's biggest college football games and they both have the Aggies leaving Knoxville with a win. 

Hummer has Texas A&M winning 28-27 while Crawford has Texas A&M winning 30-27. 

From 247Sports: This might end up being the most important game of Jimbo Fisher’s tenure. Win this week and Fisher keeps the wolves at bay for a bit longer. A loss means the temperature on his seat turns up to 11, massive buyout or not. There’s a lot working against Texas A&M here. The Aggies haven’t won on the road in seven games. The Vols have won 12 straight home games and are coming off a bye. But I still like the Aggies. Expect the A&M d-line to take control of the game and put pressure on Joe Milton all afternoon, which is a problem given Milton is completing just 29% of his passes this season while pressured. 

There's no doubt it's a big game for Texas A&M and Jimbo Fisher. After a couple of seasons of underachieving despite having elite talent, a loss to the Vols could cause the noise in College Station to become louder than it's ever been for Fisher.
