Traffic will be hard to predict, but I imagine north-south traffic would be worse than east-west in Tennessee. Still, I'd err on the side of caution. Also depends on where in Nashville you will be Sunday evening for your drive Monday morning. Don't know about the morning rush, but local media are predicting a post eclipse rush hour that could make the evening commute something that lasts several hours.
