Tennessee vs LSU Prediction
Last time out, two weeks ago, Tennessee hosted #20 Florida and earned a tough 38-33 win. This was a great game that saw Tennessee leading 3-0 after the first quarter and 17-14 at the half. The Vols went on a bit of a run in the second half and led 38-21 early in the fourth quarter. Florida scored 12 late points to keep it close. Hendon Hooker went 22/28 for 349 yards, two touchdowns, zero interceptions, and added 112 yards and one touchdown on the ground. Tennessee ran the ball 42 times for 227 yards, a 5.4 average, and three touchdowns in the win. Defensively, the Vols allowed 594 total yards and forced two Florida turnovers, one interception and one recovered fumble.
LSU visited Auburn and left with an important 21-17 win. Auburn scored the game’s first 17 points, leading 17-0 midway through the second quarter, but LSU woke up and made it a 17-14 game at the half. LSU scored the only seven points in the second half to walk away with the big road win. LSU ran the ball 49 times for 185 yards, just a 3.8 average, and two touchdowns in the win. Defensively, LSU allowed 438 total yards and forced four Auburn turnovers, two interceptions and two recovered fumbles.
Series History: LSU has won five consecutive meetings, with the two teams last playing in 2017, but Tennessee still leads the all-time series 20-10-3.
Pick: This feels like a special year for Tennessee, and I like them to win by double digits Saturday night.
