Tennessee is a very large home favorite. With a number this size the total is the more useful line, and Neyland at night has a long history of the home team covering early and then emptying the bench.

How Both Teams Got Here
Tennessee is 2-0 with a 56-9 win over Furman and a 45-24 win at Georgia Tech. The road win in Atlanta is the result that has the Volunteers ranked 15th.
Kennesaw State is 1-1. The Owls opened with a 47-0 win over West Georgia and then lost 31-17 at home to Georgia State, a result that took the shine off the opener.
What to Watch
Tennessee’s margin control. The Volunteers have a conference schedule waiting and no reason to keep starters in past the third quarter, so how quickly they build a lead is the whole story of the night.
Kennesaw State is in its third season at the FBS level and losing at home to Georgia State says this roster is not yet ready for a night game in Knoxville. The Owls will be playing for a respectable score rather than an upset.
