Tennessee has won three straight coming into tonight, including a 68-45 win at Iowa State this past weekend. The Vols are 15-5 overall, 5-3 in the SEC and 11-7 against the spread.

Bet on LSU vs. Tennessee

LSU has won two straight meetings with Tennessee, covering the spread in both games. The Tigers have been struggling, losing their last two on the road. That includes a loss at Vanderbilt. The Vols are in a nice run, winning six of their last seven and three straight at home. I think Tennessee has the better all-around team and playing at home should help push them over the line. The public betting is slightly with Tennessee as well.
