Miami vs Tennessee Prediction

Give me Miami here. Yes, they are on a losing streak, but they are competitive. Miami is still averaging 79.3 points per game and a couple of games ago against Arkansas they only lost by a couple of points. Tennessee is a good offensive team, but their defense is going to struggle too and the Hurricanes offense is going to run up the score here. Miami is going to keep this game close. Back Miami against the spread here.
