The Appalachian State Mountaineers will visit the Tennessee Volunteers Thursday night. This looks like too many points to cover for the home team considering it's the first game of the season.

The Mountaineers are 4-1 ATS in their last five road games and off an 11-2 season overall. Junior quarterback Taylor Lamb is back after setting a school record in TD passes last year and he ranked 10th in the nation in pass efficiency. The defense returns nine starters and should help the Volunteers to stay in the game.

Tennessee's QB Joshua Dobbs has a good running game but finished last season with a poor 59.6 completion percentage. With the whole Volunteers team relying on the running game odds are they'll struggle to run away with this game.
