Trends

Tennessee is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games and 7-1 ATS in their last 8 Wednesday games. The over is 6-2 in Tennessee’s last 8 games. Florida is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Wednesday games. The under is 11-2 in Florida’s last 13 games. The home team is 10-2 ATS in these two teams last 12 head to head meetings.

Pick

Tennessee comes into this game on a four game winning streak and is ranked #2 in the country, while Florida has won three of their last five games and will be at home for this matchup. Tennessee’s defense has been top notch this season, only allowing 54.5 points against per game. Florida has had some issues scoring consistently in recent games, so they may be in for a long day against the Volunteers defense. I like Tennessee on the road here.

David’s Pick Tennessee -5.5
