Tennessee is in a great spot right now.

The Vols are 7-2 and they’re ranked No. 8 in the College Football Playoff rankings. If they win out, they’ll likely host a game in the first round of the playoff.

But if Tennessee loses any of their next three games, they will probably be left out of the playoff.

So, the Vols control their own destiny, but they have no room for error over the final three weeks of the regular season.

First up for Tennessee is a road game against Texas A&M.

The Aggies have a talented roster, but they’re 4-5 this season and their only SEC win is against Arkansas.

Former Georgia QB Aaron Murray makes his prediction for Tennessee vs Texas A&M

Former Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray made his predictions for this weekend’s biggest games, and he has the Vols winning by double digits in College Station.

Murray predicts that Tennessee will beat Texas A&M 30-17 on Saturday afternoon.

“They’ve been in these games,” said Murray of some of the Aggies’ close losses. “They missed some opportunities to beat South Carolina last week. They missed opportunities to beat Alabama a week ago. … Last week they’re up 9-7 heading to the fourth quarter against South Carolina. They have been right there.

“Do they finally break through at home this week against Tennessee, who’s coming off a big win against Kentucky? I like Tennessee still in this one. I know they lost Tyree Weathersby for the remainder of the season, but I think this defensive line can get some pressure on Marcel Reed and maybe make him force a couple of mistakes down the field. I’m going to go with Tennessee to win this ball game 30-17. I think the offense continues to roll.”

Tennessee and Texas A&M will kick off at 2:00 PM CT/3:00 PM ET. The game will air on ESPN.
