Tennessee vs. LSU Prediction and Pick
These are two of the top defensive teams in the country, and I see no reason why this won't be another defensive battle. LSU ranks first in the entire nation in defensive efficiency, and Tennessee is right behind them, ranking seventh.
There have been an average of 132.4 points scored in LSU games this season, and 137 points in Tennessee games, both of which are below the set total for today's game of 138.
Neither offense has been lights out this year either. LSU ranks 155th in effective field goal percentage, and Tennessee ranks 121st.
All signs point to this being yet another UNDER game for LSU, so that's where my money will be.
