Florida vs Tennessee Prediction
Tennessee will be eager to get revenge against Florida after completely laying an egg offensively in the first meeting. The Vols couldn’t find a lick of offense a few weeks ago, scoring 43 points on 21 percent shooting from the field. The Vols made four threes on 29 attempts. It was ugly, and Tennessee is better than that. Tennessee is better at home, where it’s 11-1 SU on the season. It’s also tough to beat a good team twice in the same season. With all that said, we’re getting points with one of the best teams in the country. Florida has proven itself time and time again and is 3-1 SU on the road. The Gators have a chance to beat any team in the country, and you’re not going to get them as an underdog often the rest of the way. I can’t leave points on the table with Florida.Â
